It’s hard to believe that ETH was languishing at less than $1500 in April. Now it’s above $3800 again.

One of BlackRock’s key digital assets stars will lead Joseph Lubin’s ETH vehicle, SharpLink.
As EY’s Paul Brody wrote this week, with institutions, “Ethereum Has Already Won,” and will probably keep winning for decades to come. The incumbency of the Network Effect – that a critical mass of transactions in stablecoins and tokenization will fall to Ethereum – makes it a de facto network.
We’ll see.
