BlackRock's Ethereum ETF (ETHA) rapidly reached $10 billion in assets, becoming the third-fastest ETF to do so in just 251 days. Initially, spot Ethereum ETFs launched in July 2024 did not attract significant attention compared to Bitcoin ETFs. However, recent trading volumes show a strong investor interest. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy (formerly known as Strategy) is raising up to $2.5 billion through a preferred stock offering to further accumulate Bitcoin, all while facing lawsuits related to previous stock offerings. Lastly, MARA Holdings' stock experienced a 12% drop after announcing a $950 million debt raise intended for various operational needs beyond Bitcoin purchases. The company's Bitcoin holdings are recognized as significant, valued at approximately $5.8 billion. Despite these challenges, analysts express optimism, noting the potential of increased institutional interest in crypto investments and operational growth amid the evolving regulatory landscape.
