Fresh data revealed that BlackRock pulled about $473.72 million worth of Bitcoin in a single session. This marks the biggest withdrawal in USD terms since the asset manager entered the market. The massive exit added pressure during a week already filled with fear and massive sell-offs.
### Major Bitcoin ETFs Record Sharp Withdrawals
SoSoValue data confirmed the scale of the movement. Withdrawals from the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF amounted to $463.10 million. Fidelity’s FBTC posted more than $2 million in outflows, while Grayscale’s GBTC shed $25.09 million, continuing its long pattern of red flows.
Only one smaller Grayscale product added $4.17 million, providing little support against the heavy withdrawals. Other major issuers, including Ark 21Shares, Bitwise, VanEck, Invesco, Valkyrie, Franklin, and WisdomTree, recorded no inflows at all.
The record withdrawal comes weeks after JPMorgan disclosed holding shares of IBIT worth over $340 million. Many investors are cashing out, indicating a serious shortage of cash in the market. It appears many institutions are selling not because they doubt Bitcoin, but because they urgently need liquidity.
### Analyst Highlights Sharp Performance Divide Across the Crypto Market
Additional data from Daan Crypto Trades puts this market stress into context. His chart showed that prices of the majority of crypto assets fell between 10% and 30% over the past month. Only a few dozen coins managed returns above 30%.
According to Daan, these results highlight an extreme separation between winners and losers—a pattern seen throughout the cycle. He noted that performance has been uneven all year, explaining that investors cannot hold every token and expect strong returns. Traders must stay nimble or focus solely on Bitcoin and major assets.
His analysis supports the growing consensus that liquidity concentrates around major coins during times of market stress.
### Kiyosaki Maintains Bullish Outlook Despite Market Fear
Despite these challenging conditions, Robert Kiyosaki remains optimistic. He stated that he is not selling Bitcoin and plans to buy more once the crash ends. Kiyosaki argues that Bitcoin’s fixed supply continues to provide it with long-term strength.
The popular author recently reiterated this viewpoint, describing Bitcoin as “real money” rather than merely a speculative asset. He also mentioned that he does not need cash, which helps him stay calm while others panic.
Kiyosaki referenced the “Big Print” thesis from analyst Lawrence Lepard. He believes that rising global debt levels will force governments to create new money, thereby increasing the value of scarce assets like Bitcoin.
Reflecting on his past mistakes, Kiyosaki said his financial discipline was shaped by painful experiences. He urged his followers to study the markets, learn from failure, and collaborate in groups. According to him, such groups help individuals stay grounded during sharp downturns.
He concluded by emphasizing that he does not give investment advice but shares only his actions and accepts he could be wrong.
