Even if they buy OTC, it still removes (a lot of) supply from the market and will have an effect on price.
Let s try to be more visual… Blackrock buys shit ton of btc, decreasing the supply… but doesn t buy anything « on the market » Then the market orders show buyers and sellers, and these orders are not affected by the diminished supply since this supply is the exchange reserve… if the supply / demand had an effect on the « public market » there would be no point to trade over the counter, don t you think?

If OTC is bought up by Blackrock, others will have to start buying on the open market. There's no unlimited OTC supply. If OTC is exhausted, prices spike higher on open market due to exhausted supply.
I agree with the supply demand effect but this effect only have consequences when trades happen!

Otc IS trading. What are you talking about?

Yes it is trading, but off grid… it s an agreed transaction between the exchange and the client, compared to have the client buying from another client. So instead of buying the btc from another holder, they buy from coinbase « reserve ». That transaction’s volume is then not accounted in the daily public trading volume. Once again , blackrock and coinbase find an agreement on a price and transact , out of the market. So thiese blackrock volumes shouldn’t impact the btc « public price »
