PANews reported on January 29th that Garrett Jin, an agent of the "1011 Insider Whale," published an article on the X platform stating that multiple structural factors have prevented ETH and BTC from rising along with other risky assets. The main reasons are believed to be trading cycles, market microstructure, and market manipulation by some exchanges, market makers, or speculative funds. Regarding the market background, the deleveraging decline that began in October has caused significant losses for leveraged participants, especially retail investors. From a time perspective, although BTC and ETH have underperformed in the past three years, they still outperform most assets over a six-year period; short-term underperformance can be seen as mean reversion over a long-term cycle. As long as the narratives of BTC as "digital gold" and ETH as a core component of AI and RWA infrastructure remain valid, there is no basis for their long-term underperformance. Currently, the trading volume of BTC and ETH futures is near historical lows, indicating that the deleveraging process is nearing its end. Labeling BTC and ETH as purely risky assets is one-sided. BTC and ETH also have safe-haven attributes. The real reason for their poor performance lies within the crypto market itself: the market is in the late stages of a deleveraging cycle, and participants are highly sensitive to downside risks; the market is dominated by retail investors, with institutional participation being passive; speculative funds take advantage of the high leverage of retail investors and the market's microstructure to create volatility through concentrated selling during periods of low liquidity, thereby triggering a chain of liquidations.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
