Ethereum Soars as Wall Street Quietly Gobbles Up ETH—Are Retail Traders Late Again?

Institutional money floods into Ethereum as ETF inflows hit record highs—just as Main Street investors start paying attention. The smart money’s already stacking ETH, leaving retail to chase the rally.

Behind the surge: BlackRock’s crypto desk reportedly added 150K ETH this week alone, while Grayscale’s ETHE fund snapped up another $200M worth. Meanwhile, SEC chair Gary Gensler still insists crypto ’lacks intrinsic value’—between sips of his $8 oat milk latte.

Key drivers: Spot ETH ETF approvals looming, L2 adoption exploding (hello, $0.01 transactions), and that sweet, sweet staking yield. Just don’t mention the gas fees.

The punchline? Banks hate crypto... except when they’re quietly making it their fastest-growing revenue stream. Your move, diamond hands.
