On May 14, 2026, BlackRock, leader in Bitcoin ETFs, deposited $287 million in BTC on Coinbase, triggering a wave of speculation. Observers see it as a massive sale, while the market was already experiencing record outflows of $635 million in 24 hours. However, the company has not confirmed this intention.
This move comes amid extreme volatility where Bitcoin ETFs record their worst outflows in 105 days, with a net total reduced to $58.5 billion. Some see this as institutional disengagement, others as a repositioning strategy before a rebound. With the Clarity Act passing the US Senate this month, investors fear regulatory tightening. Thus pushing major players to secure their positions.
Furthermore, some ETFs like HODL (VanEck) still record inflows, proving confidence has not totally disappeared. However, market fragility remains palpable. A new massive deposit or an unfavorable regulatory announcement could restart the decline. Eyes are therefore on upcoming ETF flows and whale reactions.
Between doubts about BlackRock and bitcoin rebound, the crypto market remains under high tension. Should it be seen as a buying opportunity or the start of a BTC crash? The debate is open, and the coming days will be decisive. And you, what would you do?
