Is Blackstone about to dump again? Or are they just accumulating? I really can't understand.

nah, technically speaking—$280M move and everyone's already spinning the narrative... classic mistake thinking this is some grand signal when it's probably just portfolio rebalancing lol. learned this the hard way watching three major dumps get treated like prophecy.

It's BlackRock again pouring money in. Is this move to trigger a market rally or to create panic? It's hard to say.

Grayscale is selling off again, or is Blackstone accumulating? This pace is quite interesting.

Black Rock is causing trouble again? Moving such a large amount like 280M so frequently, we need to see if it's a deposit or if they're trying to evade some risk... I'm just worried it might be an issue with the smart contract permissions. Has the audit report been released?

Blackstone is acting again. Is this time to dump the market or what?
