According to Lookonchain, BlackRock has deposited 4,113 BTC (valued at $429.4 million) to Coinbase Prime two hours ago, marking its first significant move to potentially sell Bitcoin after over a month of consistent buying activity (source: Lookonchain via Twitter, intel.arkm.com). This large-scale deposit signals a possible shift in institutional sentiment and could increase short-term BTC volatility, with traders closely monitoring for further sell-side pressure and potential price corrections. The move is notable as BlackRock's previous consistent accumulation had supported bullish sentiment in the crypto market.

According to Lookonchain, a mysterious whale purchased 30,000 ETH for $54.9M at $1,830 and 600 BTC for $56.94M at $94,900 via OTC on April 27. Three hours ago, the whale sold the entire 30,000 ETH position for $78.63M at $2,621 via OTC, securing a $23.73M profit (Source: Lookonchain). The whale’s 600 BTC remains unsold and is currently valued at $66.5M, reflecting an unrealized gain of $9.6M (Source: Lookonchain). These large-scale OTC trades can impact liquidity and market sentiment, signaling strong institutional interest and potential volatility in both ETH and BTC prices.

According to Farside Investors, the Bitcoin ETF daily flow for Ark was reported at 0 million USD on May 2, 2025, indicating no new capital inflows for the day (source: Farside Investors). This stagnant activity may signal reduced short-term trading momentum and could point to a pause in institutional buying pressure. Traders should monitor upcoming ETF flow reports for signs of renewed demand or continued stagnation, as these metrics often influence Bitcoin price volatility and market sentiment (source: farside.co.uk/btc/).
