BlackRock just bought over $1 billion in these two cryptos

BlackRock is on a roll this week, with more than $1 billion in fresh Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) inflows on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.

More precisely, the asset manager added 7,579 BTC ($943.11 million) and 8,959 ETH ($89.49 million) in a single day, according to new Lookonchain data reviewed by Finbold.

The inflows came just 24 hours after another monster purchase, as BlackRock had also acquired 6,447 BTC ($805 million) and 45,672 ETH ($212.9 million) the day prior.

With the new capital, the fund’s total holdings have climbed to 791,347 BTC, worth around $98.48 billion, and 3,952,823 ETH, amounting to approximately $18.66 billion.

BlackRock firmly on top

Bitcoin ETFs saw a total daily inflow of 9,576 BTC, equivalent to more than $1.19 billion on October 7, while Ethereum ETFs witnessed a positive net change of 34,138 ETH, valued at around $161 million.

Over the past seven days, Bitcoin ETFs thus collectively added 32,946 BTC ($4.1 billion). BlackRock’s IBIT alone brought in 23,084 BTC ($2.82 billion), which is more than half of the entire market.

At the same time, Ethereum ETFs have seen weekly net inflows of 232,736 ETH ($1.1 billion), with BlackRock’s ETHA contributing 158,794 ETH ($710 million), again over 50% of the total.

Although funds are posting record performances, both cryptocurrencies are down on the daily chart. 

Bitcoin fell 1.39%, trading at $122,460 at the time of writing, down from its Monday all-time high of $126,198. Ethereum, on the other hand, has plunged over 4%, sitting at $4,480.
