Algo caught my attention in the latest 13F filings.


The biggest addition to IBIT, from a completely new entity, is Laurore Ltd. It has no website. No press. No presence. The only public information is that the applicant's name is Zhang Hui and it is based in Hong Kong.
Let's take a closer look at that for a second.
Zhang Hui is the Chinese equivalent of John Smith. It's what I call an "anonymous non-anonymous" name, something hidden in plain sight, buried under the statistical weight of millions to make it impossible to trace. The suffix "Ltd" suggests a structure in the Cayman Islands or the British Virgin Islands, the classic way to access U.S. markets from abroad. And the portfolio? A single investment. Only IBIT. It's not a diversified fund. It's a $436 million Bitcoin access vehicle disguised as an institutional one.
Why would someone do this?
Because Chinese investors can't hold Bitcoin.
If this is what it seems, it could be an early sign that Chinese institutional capital is moving into Bitcoin, not through cryptocurrency exchanges or gray market channels, but via a BlackRock ETF filed with the SEC in a regulated jurisdiction that hides in the most "transparent and non-transparent" place imaginable.
It's curious that the name Laurore probably derives from the French l'aurore: dawn.
To me, that smells like capital flight.
