However, Arkham tweeted, “‘Grayscale’ entity still shows a higher balance than ‘BlackRock’. This is mainly due to Grayscale’s fund GDLC, which has around $460M in AUM and is not an ETF.”
Crypto ETF holdings have increasingly become a safe bet for government institutions and corporations as well. Recently, Goldman Sachs revealed its biggest bitcoin ETF position which is a $238 million stake in BlackRock’s Ishares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
As the world tussles with geo-political tensions, wars and growing inflation, institutions and individual investors too, have found ‘fairness and faith’ in decentralized cryptocurrencies.
Crypto degens are surrounded by frenzy as big players are seen competing with their holdings.Many users on Crypto Twitter have pointed out that with this pace, institutions might soon topple Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings whose 1.1 Million BTC holding currently remains untouched.
