BlackRock Registers iShares Ethereum Trust

By KeeVurds Desk

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has registered the iShares Ethereum Trust in Delaware.

This move comes as the industry anticipates the approval of a Bitcoin ETF, positioning Eth as an institutional investment asset.

The Right Timing?

Today's Ethereum firm registration by BlackRock sparked a 6% surge in Ethereum's price to $2,010 as per reports.

Why The Surge In Price

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a history of delaying Bitcoin ETFs, which adds an element of uncertainty.
