Bitcoin Whales Unload $3.4B in December; BTC Stalls at $92K Resistance: Glassnode

Bitcoin’s largest non-exchange holders are de-risking. The 10,000 to 100,000 BTC cohort has sold or redistributed 36,500 BTC (approx. $3.4 billion) since December 1, according to Glassnode data.

The distribution coincides with Bitcoin’s struggle to break the $94,000 resistance level following Wednesday’s Federal Reserve rate cut. BTC traded at $92,250 (-0.2%) during the early Asian session Friday.

The Data Points

  • The Cohort: Entities holding 10k-100k BTC (often institutional custodians or early miners).
  • The Volume: ~$3.37 billion in selling pressure over 12 days.
  • The Trend: This marks a shift from accumulation to distribution for this specific class, contrasting with retail sentiment which remains elevated.

Liquidity Drought

Market depth is thinning. Stablecoin liquidity, a proxy for buying power, has dropped significantly. Data cited by FX Leaders notes a 50% decline in stablecoin inflows since August, suggesting the current price levels lack the fresh capital support needed for a breakout above $100,000. Bitcoin is trading steadily near $92,000 as markets digest the Fed’s rate cut alongside its plan to inject liquidity by purchasing $40 billion in Treasury bills each month. While this liquidity boost will have a stronger long-term impact, near-term sentiment is also improving, supported by renewed institutional flows, noted Akshat Siddhant, Lead Quant Analyst, Mudrex.

The Institutional Take

This divergence is the signal to watch. While retail chases the “Fed pivot” narrative, the smart money (10k-100k BTC tier) is using the liquidity to exit. The $3.4B outflow from this cohort, combined with the 50% drop in stablecoin reserves, indicates the current range ($88k-$94k) is being used for distribution, not accumulation. Expect volatility to increase if BTC loses the $88,000 support handle.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
