BlackRock’s new staked Ethereum ETF (ETHB) is easy to misunderstand.This is not the first time ETH staking has finally reached exchange-traded products, as Grayscale has already crossed that bridge. What’s interesting about the launch is that BlackRock is now standardizing the way Ethereum is explained to mainstream investors.With ETHB, Ethereum is being repackaged less as a confusing crypto-tech bet and more as a yield-bearing portfolio asset: something investors can hold in a brokerage account, potentially collect monthly staking-related income from, and understand in much more familiar investment terms.BlackRock introduced the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF on Mar. 12. BlackRock’s release…

Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards says Bitcoin has moved into a historically attractive accumulation area, but not yet the kind of deep-discount zone that defined the best buying opportunities of prior cycles. In his view, the setup is constructive for long-term holders, though still lacking the confirmation needed to call a durable bottom. Speaking with Crypto Consulting Institute’s Joe Shew, Edwards framed Bitcoin as “closer to the bottom than the top,” with multiple on-chain metrics pointing to value even as price action remains damaged. He stopped short, however, of calling the current range a standout opportunity. “Bitcoin I think you…
The leading cryptocurrency has weathered a “stress test” amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, on-chain metrics indicate a lack of bullish momentum for a mid-term breakout, according to Glassnode. An accumulation cluster is forming in the $62k–$72k range. However, its intensity is modest relative to prior phases that preceded sustained expansions.Conviction is building, but the foundation for a mid-term breakout remains thin so far. 📉 https://t.co/ztF5eAyola https://t.co/QKryhvZaho pic.twitter.com/g3XhYKPLst— glassnode (@glassnode) March 13, 2026 Experts have observed accumulation in the $62,000-$72,000 range.

Corporate ownership of bitcoin has reached a new high in early 2026 as exchange-traded funds, multinational corporations, and private firms expand their exposure to the asset, according to the latest corporate adoption report from BitcoinTreasuries.net. The data shows that institutional demand now forms a central pillar of the bitcoin market. Public companies, private firms, ETFs, and government-linked entities collectively hold a growing share of the circulating supply, with a small number of large buyers responsible for most accumulation. The findings illustrate a shift in bitcoin’s ownership structure. Early adoption was driven by retail investors and technology enthusiasts. Today, large financial…
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has clarified the circumstances surrounding his massive 2021 crypto donation to the Future of Life Institute, while distancing himself from some of the group’s more recent policy approaches toward artificial intelligence.

Bitcoin BTC$71,853.46 rose above $71,500 on Friday, outperforming U.S. equities even as the dollar strengthened and oil prices remained elevated as the war with Iran was set to enter its third week.A stronger dollar can tighten global financial conditions and often weighs on risk assets such as equities and cryptocurrencies. Higher oil prices — both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate are hovering around $100 per barrel — reinforce inflation concerns and heighten expectations of interest-rate increases. Higher rates also detract from the attraction of such investments.Despite these macro and geopolitical pressures, including the Middle East conflict, bitcoin has remained…
