BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is planning to create an ETF that holds Ethereum’s ether (ETH), further solidifying its commitment to cryptocurrencies. The announcement caused the price of ETH to surge, reaching its highest level of the day at around $2,100, a 3% increase from before the filing was made public. However, the price later retreated by about half of that gain, but still remains 9% higher than 24 hours prior. The plan was revealed in a filing by Nasdaq, where BlackRock intends to list the product, pending regulatory approval. Earlier on Thursday, it was discovered that a corporate entity called “iShares Ethereum Trust” had been registered in Delaware, which is BlackRock’s ETF division. This move by BlackRock demonstrates its growing interest in the cryptocurrency market and its belief in the potential of Ethereum.
