BlackRock’s new ether ETF for yield hungry investors debuts with $15 million in trading volume

BlackRock’s new staked ether ($ETH) exchange-traded fund got off to a solid start Friday, pulling in more than $15 million in trading volume on its first day as Wall Street begins experimenting with yield-generating crypto ETFs.

The iShares Staked Ethereum Trust, trading under the ticker ETHB, launched with just over $100 million in assets and had already seen about $11 million in trading by early afternoon, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart. By late session, trading volume had climbed to roughly $15.5 million, suggesting strong initial demand for the product.

Those numbers are considered strong for an ETF launch, market watchers say.

“BlackRock's Staked Ether ETF launched with just over $100 million in assets and has traded about $11.1 million through early afternoon,” Seyffart said on X, calling it “a pretty good start for any ETF.”

The product marks a significant evolution in crypto exchange-traded funds. Unlike traditional spot crypto ETFs that simply track the underlying asset, ETHB will generate yield by staking ethereum, distributing most of the rewards back to investors. Staking refers to locking coins in a cryptocurrency network in return for rewards. This is losely analogous to investing in fixed income instruments like bonds.

According to the prospectus, the fund will stake between 70% and 95% of its ether holdings at any given time. About 82% of the staking rewards will be paid out to investors through monthly distributions, similar to how dividend-paying ETFs distr

MOVE Index Jumps 21% as BTC, ETH Options Turn Defensive
Over $2.3 billion in Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH) options near expiration today, amid growing defensive positioning, $BTC holds firm near $71,500, and implied volatility retreats from recent highs.

Crypto futures open interest rose 2% to $102 billion in the past 24 hours. However, flat-to-negative funding rates and cumulative volume delta suggest the buildup is driven by cautious bearish bets rather than fresh long exposure.

Options Positioning Tilts Defensive

$BTC options carry $1.93 billion in notional value across 26,948 contracts. The put-to-call ratio sits at 0.97, nearly balanced but with a slight defensive lean. Max pain rests at $69,000, just below spot price.

$ETH positioning tells a sharper story. With $394 million in notional value across 186,732 contracts, Ethereum’s put-to-call ratio has climbed to 1.20.

That means put buyers outnumber call buyers by a significant margin, signaling hedging activity rather than directional conviction. Max pain for $ETH sits at $2,000, roughly 5% below its current price of $2,110.

Greeks.live analysts noted that implied volatility across major maturities has pulled back sharply. The monthly volatility risk premium (VRP) dropped from +2% to -9% in a single day.

A widening negative VRP suggests traders expect future volatility to remain lower than current levels, even as broader macro risks escalate.

The world is talking about Al, and the buzz around crypto has quieted down considerably.

Meanwhile, ETH has been hovering around $2000 for almost two months, and Vitalik's every word and action seems to have lost its appeal.

However, I recently looked through his X (a tech blog) and discovered that we're not the only ones affected by Al. A significant portion of his posts over the past month have been related to Al, down to the level of technical solutions.

The most noteworthy is a proposal he co-authored with Davide Crapis, the head of Al at the Ethereum Foundation, on ethresearch on February 11th, titled "ZK API Usage Credits."

In short: using zero-knowledge proofs to allow anonymous access to large Al models.

Currently, whether you use ChatGPT or call Claude's API, there's only one payment method:

Register an account, link your email, and link your credit card.

Every conversation and every prompt you make is known to the platform as yours. What you ask, when you ask, and how many times you ask are all tied to your real identity.

Vitalik and Crapis's proposal offers another way.

One of the first named plaintiffs in a new lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase says he lost $650,000 — including retirement savings — to an alleged $328 million crypto Ponzi scheme the bank helped keep running.

Robby Alan Steele is among more than 2,000 investors who say they were defrauded by Goliath Ventures, a Florida-based crypto investment firm that prosecutors say collected hundreds of millions of dollars under false pretenses.

JPMorgan Named As Sole Financial Institution For Goliath
A proposed class action filed Tuesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California accuses JPMorgan of letting Goliath use its banking infrastructure to pull in investor funds while ignoring warning signs that something was wrong.

According to the complaint, JPMorgan was the only bank holding Goliath’s accounts from January 2023 through mid-2025 — the bulk of the scheme’s run.

During that stretch, roughly $250 million passed through a single JPMorgan account linked to Goliath. About $123 million of that was sent to Goliath’s wallets held at Coinbase.

Attorneys say the sheer volume moving through one account should have triggered scrutiny under federal banking rules that require institutions to know who their customers are and what those customers do with their money.

“Chase, by virtue of its Know Your Customer obligations, actually knew that Goliath was acting as a private equity cryptocurrency pool operator investing money for investors, without being licensed at all to sell these investments,” the complaint states.
