blackrock

Olha, quando o maior gestor de dinheiro do planeta começa a mover centenas de milhões em cripto para uma exchange, você presta atenção. Foi exatamente isso que aconteceu em 13 de fevereiro, e o momento não poderia ser pior para quem ainda espera uma recuperação rápida.
Os Números Não Mentem 3.402 BTC e 15.108 ETH Rumo à Saída
A Arkham Intelligence rastreou a BlackRock movendo 3.402 $BTC Bitcoin (aproximadamente $227 milhões) e 15.108 $ETH Ethereum (cerca de $29,5 milhões) diretamente para a Coinbase. Agora, transferências para exchanges geralmente significam uma coisa: a pressão de venda está chegando. Ninguém movimenta esse tamanho para a Coinbase apenas para deixá-lo parado lá.

O Bitcoin tem um problema de marca, e pela primeira vez, não é por causa de um tweet ou uma repressão regulatória. De acordo com Robert Mitchnick, chefe de ativos digitais da BlackRock, a ameaça vem de dentro de casa.
Especificamente, é a enorme quantidade de alavancagem sendo injetada em derivativos de criptomoedas.
Por anos, a narrativa do "garoto grande" para o Bitcoin tem sido simples: é ouro digital. Deveria ser um ativo não correlacionado—um porto seguro quando o sistema financeiro tradicional começa a parecer instável. Mas toda vez que o Bitcoin tenta se estabelecer nesse papel, uma onda de liquidações atinge, enviando os preços em uma espiral descendente.

A BlackRock está se movendo novamente. Desta vez, os números são difíceis de ignorar. O maior gestor de ativos do mundo acabou de sinalizar uma venda combinada de $257 milhões em Bitcoin e Ethereum.
Vindo exatamente enquanto o governo dos EUA está à beira de uma paralisação parcial, o momento é... suspeito. Ou não é?
A Análise
De acordo com dados recentes da cadeia e relatórios de mercado, a atividade recente da BlackRock parece ser esta:
Bitcoin (BTC): Aproximadamente $157.6 milhões foram retirados de seu fundo IBIT.
Ethereum (ETH): Aproximadamente $99.4 milhões seguiram o exemplo nas sessões recentes.

Enquanto o varejo está focado na resistência do Bitcoin de $70k, a verdadeira história está acontecendo nos bastidores. A BlackRock oficialmente implantou seu fundo de títulos tokenizados de $2.2 bilhões para negociação on-chain no UniswapX.
Este é um momento histórico. Estamos assistindo o maior gestor de ativos do mundo passar de "observar" o DeFi para "governá-lo" ao comprar o token UNI.
O que isso significa para o Q1 2026:
UNI Surge: O token subiu 25% após as notícias. "Muralhas de compra" institucionais estão agora se formando abaixo do nível de $12.

Look, when the biggest money manager on the planet starts moving hundreds of millions in crypto to an exchange, you pay attention. That's exactly what happened on February 13th, and the timing couldn't be worse for anyone still holding out hope for a quick recovery.
The Numbers Don't Lie 3,402 BTC and 15,108 ETH Heading for the Exit
Arkham Intelligence tracked BlackRock shuffling 3,402 $BTC Bitcoin (roughly $227 million) and 15,108 $ETH Ethereum (about $29.5 million) straight to Coinbase. Now, transfers to exchanges typically mean one thing selling pressure is coming. Nobody moves that kind of size to Coinbase just to let it sit there.
This wasn't a random Tuesday move either. It came right on the heels of heavy bleeding from BlackRock's own ETF products. IBIT, their Bitcoin ETF, hemorrhaged $157.56 million in outflows on February 12th, while ETHA (the Ethereum fund) shed another $29 million. The broader ETF picture looked just as ugly BTC spot ETFs collectively lost $410 million that day, and Ethereum ETFs watched $113 million walk out the door.
It's Not Just BlackRock The Smart Money Wants Out
What's particularly telling here is that this isn't isolated behavior. Institutional players across the board are trimming exposure, and even sovereign nations are getting cold feet.
Bhutan's government has been quietly dumping Bitcoin for weeks now. Since the October 10th crash, the country has slashed its BTC holdings by nearly 60%. When a nation-state that was once all-in on crypto mining starts aggressively de-risking, you have to wonder what they're seeing that retail isn't.
Glassnode's on-chain data has been flashing warning signs for a while too. Bitcoin's price structure looks fragile, and the selling from big wallets isn't slowing down.
Washington Can't Get Its Act Together Again
Layered on top of all this institutional selling is yet another Washington mess. Congress failed to reach a deal before the February 14th funding deadline, putting the country on track for a partial government shutdown starting February 15th. Yes, another one.
If that sounds familiar, it should. The last partial shutdown kicked off on January 31st, and Bitcoin was trading above $80,000 at the time. Since then? It cratered to $60,000 and hasn't been able to claw its way back above that $80K psychological barrier. Shutdowns create uncertainty, and crypto for all its "decentralized hedge" narrative still trades like a risk asset when fear hits the market.
Standard Chartered Says Brace for More Pain
If you needed one more reason to be cautious, Wall Street bank Standard Chartered dropped a sobering prediction recently. Their analysts see Bitcoin potentially sliding all the way to $50,000 before any meaningful bounce. They've also chopped their year-end price target from $150,000 down to $100,000 that's a significant haircut from one of the more bullish traditional finance voices in the space.
What Does This Actually Mean for You?
Here's the bottom line. When BlackRock moves a quarter billion in crypto to a sell-side exchange, when ETF outflows are accelerating, when sovereign wealth funds are bailing, and when another government shutdown is hitting that's a convergence of pressure that doesn't resolve overnight.
Does it mean crypto is dead?
Absolutely not. But it does mean that the "buy every dip" crowd might want to exercise some patience here. The big players are clearly repositioning, and fighting that kind of flow rarely ends well for retail traders.
Watch the ETF flow data closely over the next week. If outflows continue accelerating, $60,000 BTC might not be the bottom everyone assumed it was.

When the world’s largest asset manager shifts a quarter-billion dollars in digital assets to an exchange, it isn’t just "maintenance"—it’s a market signal. On February 13, BlackRock moved a combined $257 million in BTC and ETH to Coinbase, adding a heavy layer of sell-side pressure to an already fragile market.

​Here is a breakdown of why this move, combined with global economic shifts, has the "smart money" hitting the brakes.

​1. The On-Chain Movement: More Than Just Shuffling

​Data from Arkham Intelligence confirms BlackRock transferred 3,402 BTC (~$227M) and 15,108 ETH (~$29.5M) directly to Coinbase. In the crypto world, moving assets from private cold storage to an exchange is the universal precursor to selling.

​This isn't happening in a vacuum. It follows a brutal 48-hour stretch for BlackRock’s ETFs:

​IBIT (Bitcoin): Saw $157.56 million in outflows on Feb 12.
​ETHA (Ethereum): Shed $29 million the same day.

​Total Market Impact: Collective spot ETF outflows hit $523 million in a single day, signaling a massive institutional pivot toward liquidity.

​2. Sovereign Selling: Bhutan Leads the Exit

​It isn’t just Wall Street. The Royal Government of Bhutan, a pioneer in state-backed mining, has slashed its Bitcoin holdings by nearly 60% since the October 10 market peak. When a nation-state that mines its own coin starts offloading its reserves, it suggests they are prioritizing cash reserves over long-term "HODLing."

​3. The Washington Factor: Shutdown Stalemate

​Adding fuel to the fire, the U.S. Congress failed to meet the February 14 funding deadline. As of today, February 15, the country has entered another partial government shutdown.

​Historically, these periods of political gridlock drive investors out of "risk assets" like crypto and back into the safety of the dollar. We saw this in January when Bitcoin collapsed from $80,000 to $60,000 during the last shutdown; the current stalemate makes that $80,000 level look like a distant memory.

​4. Wall Street’s Reality Check

​Standard Chartered, once one of the most bullish voices in the space, has officially lowered the bar. Their analysts recently:

​Cut Year-End Target: Dropped from $150,000 to $100,000.
​Warned of a Floor Drop: Predicted a potential slide to $50,000 before any real support is found.

​The Bottom Line for Traders

​The "buy the dip" mantra is being tested by a perfect storm of institutional selling, sovereign de-risking, and U.S. macro-economic instability. While the long-term crypto thesis remains intact, the short-term reality is one of repositioning. If you're looking for a bottom, keep a sharp eye on the ETF flow data over the next week. If the outflows don't stabilize, the $60,000 support level may crumble sooner than expected.

Em 13 de fevereiro, a BlackRock enviou enormes pilhas de BTC e ETH diretamente para a Coinbase—e o momento é brutal para qualquer um que reza por um rápido retorno.
💣 Os Números São Altos
BlackRock se moveu:
3.402 BTC (~$227M)
15.108 ETH (~$29,5M)
Transferências para exchanges geralmente significam uma coisa: pressão de venda a caminho. Instituições não movem esse tamanho apenas para relaxar.
E isso não foi aleatório.
Apenas um dia antes, os ETFs da BlackRock estavam sangrando forte:
IBIT (Bitcoin ETF): -$157,5M em saídas
ETHA (Ethereum ETF): -$29M em saídas
Total de ETFs de BTC: -$410M desaparecidos em um dia

Após um dos começos mais brutais de um ano na história do cripto, o mercado está mostrando seus primeiros sinais reais de vida. Em 14 de fevereiro de 2026, $XRP subiu 4,40% em 24 horas para cerca de $1,46, com um rali apoiado por mais de $365 milhões em liquidações forçando traders pessimistas a fechar posições. $BTC está sendo negociado em torno de $69,522, passando por uma recuperação modesta após ter caído brevemente abaixo de $61,000 apenas dias atrás.
Este não é um retorno completo de mercado altista, mas é o primeiro sinal verde sustentado que vimos desde o pico de outubro de 2025, quando o Bitcoin atingiu $126,000.
