BlackRock has launched today its first ETF that stakes Ethereum.
The following is a summary of the information that you will find on this page.
- BlackRock today launched ETHB – its first Ethereum ETF staking.
- ETHB is a cheaper option, with a ratio of 0.25%.
- Ethereum formed a flag-like pattern that indicates a decline.
EthereumETHThe second largest cryptocurrency () trades for $2,056 within a price range that it has been in over the last 30 days. The current price is 60% less than the all-time highest.
BlackRock is the biggest asset manager on earth and today they will be launching their staking ETF. This could have a significant impact on ETH’s price. The launch of the staking ETF is a significant milestone. This will help address an issue that was present in existing funds.
Existing Ethereum ETFsThe majority of investors are less likely to choose a fund with assets exceeding $11.85billion because they don’t provide staking incentives. BlackRock charges 0.25% annual fees to ETHA ETF holders, who forgo a return every month. According to data, Ethereum’s staking returns are around 3%.
It will be called ETHB, and the annual fee is 0.25%. The fee will be waived for the first 12 months or until it reaches $2.5 billion.
It is therefore likely that there will be a switch from ETHA or other Ethereum ETFs over to ETHB. This could also result in more investors investing in the funds.
Ethereum Price Prediction
Charts of the daily timeframe show that the ETH has fallen from an all-time low price of $4,950, to its current value $2,065. The price of ETH has been consistently below both the 200-day and 50-day moving averages ever since it formed its death cross pattern in November 2018.
The price of Ethereum has created a horizontal band whose resistance and support levels are $1,843 – $2,193. This channel has remained unchanged since the 6th of February this year.
The channel was formed when the coin dropped sharply. This is a part of the bearish flag. Most often, the pattern leads to a bearish breakout.
In the short term, it is likely that the coin will have a significant bearish breakout. If that happens, then the target for the short term will be $1,843, the lower edge of the channel. If the price drops below $1,843, it could lead to even more downside to as low as $1,500.
