BlackRock Clients Allegedly Purchase 31,737 ETH Worth $100.23 Million, Unverified
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Purchase Rumor: BlackRock clients are reported to have purchased 31,737 ETH valued at $100.23 million via Telegram, yet as of January 6, 2026, no official confirmations or on-chain data substantiate this transaction, leading to a cautious market response.
- Market Impact: While the rumors may indicate institutional interest in Ethereum, the absence of verifiable data leaves the market skeptical about its potential impact, with investor sentiment remaining speculative.
- Partnership Dynamics: BlackRock's collaboration with Securitize to launch the BUIDL fund, seeded with $100 million in Ethereum, does not directly indicate recent ETH purchases by clients, highlighting the complexity of market signals.
- Historical Context: BlackRock's success with Bitcoin ETFs has spurred market interest, yet the current ETH purchase rumors lack concrete financial backing, resulting in discussions about their impact remaining speculative at best.
