BlackRock's Ethereum ETF, the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), has rapidly gained $10 billion in assets, becoming the third-fastest ETF to reach this milestone in just 251 days. This has stirred a positive shift in investor sentiment, especially after a slow start. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy, known for its heavy Bitcoin investment, is raising up to $2.5 billion through a new preferred stock offering to buy more Bitcoin, amid ongoing lawsuits over its previous stock transactions. MARA Holdings faced a 12% drop in stock value after announcing a $950 million debt raise, aimed not only at Bitcoin acquisition but also at operational funding. Analysts suggest that the dip may be temporary and attribute it to seasonal trends in the market. Additionally, JP Morgan is reportedly considering allowing Bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral for loans, while XRP had fluctuating market capitalization, nearly exceeding major corporations before retreating.
