Big bro BlackRock’s crypto portfolio has yet again crossed the $100 billion threshold.
Breakdown-wise, BTC accounts for roughly $85 billion at the minute.
It ain’t stopping here. Just a while back, it loaded up additional BTC worth $169 million.
Another TradFi bro, Franklin Templeton, has joined hands with Binance to explore tokenization opportunities.
To contextualize, trades worth roughly $22 billion happen under Binance’s umbrella everyday. Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton manages $1.6 trillion in monthly assets.
When giants like these link up, you know the tides are turning.
Speaking of which, on the 1D chart, BTC has already confirmed a downtrend breakout.
We’re currently trading around $113k right now - a level that has been weakening as a point of rejection.
For the uptrend to renew, the key would be to close above $113k today.
In other news, Linea’s TGE just went live. With the 90-day claims window now open, ~9.4 billion tokens are up for grabs.

Become your own bank.
It’s time to ditch your bank altogether and embrace the crypto life:
Spend it directly with no fees on the sale, and earn 3-5% back on every purchase—debit or credit.
Never sell - live like a billionaire: avoid taxes, compound wealth. Don’t worry about on-and-off ramps or taxes by spending against your balance as credit debt.
Pay off your debt with yield + cashback: earn 9% on stables, 7% on ETH, 2% on BTC, with HYPE and SOL on the way.
Use borrow mode: 70% LTV against your whole portfolio, “only borrow, never sell”
Keep self-custody, earn big yield, and never pay for instant withdrawals or have your money stuck in a CEX again.
