Arkham Crypto Fund Holdings Reach $3 Billion
Arkham crypto fund holdings have attracted fresh attention after blockchain analytics company Arkham Intelligence announced that it had identified and labeled approximately $3 billion worth of cryptocurrency assets belonging to major investment funds.
Brief
Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence said on November 9 that its platform had attached new labels to roughly $3 billion in crypto holdings tied to large investment managers. The update, shared on X, does not reflect fresh purchases, since the assets were already linked to investment products, but they are now easier to track through blockchain data. The largest labeled positions include CoinShares' BITC Physical Bitcoin ETP at about $1.52 billion, VanEck's VBTC Bitcoin ETN near $507.2 million, and Invesco's BTIC Physical Bitcoin ETN at $266.6 million. Grayscale's Solana Trust accounted for $125.9 million, and Morgan Stanley's Solana ETF for about $44.1 million. Labels depend on accurate address attribution, and transfers between wallets may not reflect buying or selling.
Why it matters: It shows more institutional Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana holdings are becoming traceable on-chain, which helps readers follow fund activity, though labels are not proof of trades.
