In this week's roundup, BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) achieved $10 billion in assets in just 251 days, making it the third-fastest ETF to do so, surpassing expectations despite a slow initial start. MicroStrategy announced plans to raise up to $2.5 billion through a preferred stock offering to acquire more Bitcoin, amid ongoing class-action lawsuits regarding previous stock offerings. Meanwhile, MARA Holdings faced a decline in stock price after disclosing a $950 million debt raise to facilitate operations and acquisitions rather than solely Bitcoin purchases. As Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs look set to expand, analysts speculate that approval for in-kind redemptions may further boost crypto ETF growth, although regulators express concerns about complexity and security risks in such funds.
