Why is Blackrock going full on Ether mode?

The institutional interest in ether doesn't start overnight. It began building back in April, when it hit a cycle low near $1,380. Since then, a combination of legal clarity, progress around ETF approval, and coin’s maturing role in the financial ecosystem has fueled a steady wave of accumulation from large players. The fact that BlackRock buys Ethereum is simply the most visible and significant confirmation of that trend. The coin seems to be in a strong position to maintain its upward track while the larger cryptocurrency market heats up. That being said, not everything is simple.

Token is now struggling to break through resistance around the $3,900 level, and the failure to reclaim new highs is beginning to stir uncertainty. Some analysts warn that the current rally may lose steam without a breakout, and fear of a short-term correction is growing.
