88 billion on September 9 to $104. 18 billion on September 16, a one-week increase of $4.

31 billion. Most of that came from gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This drop in token count, combined with the higher price, highlights how volatile institutional trading activity can appear on-chain. Overall, BlackRock’s move adds to the growing narrative of Wall Street giants cementing their dominance in digital assets.

With Bitcoin and Ethereum still the top two cryptocurrencies by market value, the company’s aggressive buying shows that large financial players continue to see long-term potential. The post BlackRock just bought over $600 million of these 2 cryptocurrencies appeared first on Finbold .
