BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has swiftly garnered $10 billion in assets, becoming the third-fastest to achieve this milestone in 251 days. While initial reactions were subdued compared to Bitcoin ETFs, investors now show confidence in crypto ETFs. MicroStrategy aims to raise up to $2.5 billion through a new preferred stock offering to expand its Bitcoin holdings. However, it faces class-action lawsuits related to its previous stock offerings. Meanwhile, MARA Holdings' stock fell 12% after announcing a $950 million debt raise, intended for operations and acquisitions, not solely Bitcoin purchases. Analysts, however, remain positive on MARA, citing Bitcoin's strong performance as a driving factor despite the recent dip in stock price. Additional notable trends include JP Morgan considering Bitcoin for loan collateral and fluctuations in XRP’s market cap, which briefly surpassed major corporations. Overall, the week reflects a dynamic crypto landscape with evolving investment strategies and regulatory scrutiny.
