Expert Alleges Bitcoin Under Siege Again, ETFs And BlackRock Suspected
The recent surge in Bitcoin volatility has led to significant liquidations, sparking expert allegations of market manipulation. Market expert NoLimit reported that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, transferred hundreds of millions in BTC to Coinbase Prime wallets at stock market open—a pattern suggesting institutional selling. This activity, combined with low liquidity and risk management ahead of derivatives events, contributed to rapid price declines.
Further analysis by OxNobler revealed large-scale sell-offs: Binance sold 10,155 BTC, Wintermute 5,354 BTC, Coinbase 10,113 BTC, BlackRock 4,945 BTC, and Kraken 4,630 BTC—totaling over $2.5 billion in BTC sold within 30 minutes. Analysts from Bull Theory noted Bitcoin dropped $2,300 in 45 minutes, liquidating $66 million in long positions. Approximately $60 billion was wiped from the crypto market without negative news, reinforcing concerns about manipulation. BTC was trading at $87,340, down over 30% from its October all-time high.
