BlackRock sends $276M in Bitcoin and $83M in Ethereum to Coinbase Prime

Key Takeaways

• BlackRock transferred $276M in Bitcoin and $83M in Ethereum to Coinbase Prime.
• The transfers come as early-2026 ETF flows have shifted rapidly from strong inflows to sharp outflows.

BlackRock, the global investment management firm, moved about 3,064 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $276 million, along with 26,723 Ethereum worth more than $83 million, to Coinbase Prime today, according to data from Arkham Intelligence.

The latest transfers come as ETF flows in early 2026 turned volatile, with strong inflows at the start of January quickly giving way to sharp outflows. After solid buying on Jan 2 and Jan 5, sentiment reversed sharply on Jan 6 and Jan 7, resulting in net outflows for the period, per Farside Investors.

IBIT, BlackRocks Bitcoin ETF, posted $130 million in redemptions yesterday as US spot Bitcoin funds suffered $486 million in net outflows, their biggest daily outflow since late November.
