BlackRock

Bitcoin (BTC), the biggest digital asset, saw a major halt in its bullish chance to regain the $70,000 level. BTC’s price dropped by over 2% in the last 24 hours dragging it back to the $67,000 zone. However, the investment giant, BlackRock, utilized the opportunity and straight away bought the dip.
The cumulative crypto market cap recorded a decline of around 2.5% over the last day to stand at $2.33 trillion. Popular <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/top-3-altcoins-to-buy-in-november-for-massive-roi-neiro-xyzversus-xyz-and-pepe/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">altcoins</a> like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) posted a drop of 3.25% and 1.37%, respectively.

As per the <a href="https://x.com/thomas_fahrer/status/1848546790746071089" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">data</a>, BlackRock bought 4869 Bitcoin (approx worth $328 million) amid the price dip. The investment giant has maintained its accumulation spree. Last week, it bought a total of 16,975 BTC (approx worth $1.17 billion) and sent <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/bitcoin-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> up by 8%.
Bitcoin surged close to $70,000 on Monday, buoyed by <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/bitcoin-etfs-record-950000-btc-in-aum/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETF inflows</a> and optimism around US regulatory changes. With the November 5 election on the line, political dynamics are at play. Republican candidate Donald Trump has embraced a pro-crypto stance, making Bitcoin a potential “Trump trade.” Meanwhile, VP Kamala Harris has vowed to support clearer crypto regulations.
Meanwhile, Arkham reported that an ancient whale from 2009 sold $9.68 million worth of its Bitcoin holding. This whale mined thousands of BTC starting just only 5 days after the first block was produced.
