BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has become the third-fastest ETF to reach $10 billion in assets, achieving this milestone in just 251 days. Initially, the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs in July 2024 saw subdued trading volume compared to Bitcoin ETFs, but investor confidence appears to be recovering. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy is seeking to raise up to $2.5 billion through a preferred stock offering to invest further in Bitcoin, despite facing class-action lawsuits related to its previous offerings. MARA Holdings has seen its stock drop 12% despite raising $950 million in debt, with plans to use the funds for operational expenses and possible acquisitions. Analysts consider the decline temporary, attributing it to Bitcoin's performance and the company’s strategy of holding rather than selling BTC. Other notable updates include JP Morgan exploring the use of Bitcoin and Ethereum as collateral for loans and XRP's fluctuating market capitalization, prompting comparisons with major corporations.
