After weeks of speculation, BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has 
officially filed for a staked Ethereum (ETH) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) with 
the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Amid the bullish news, the 
King of Altcoins’ price is attempting to break out of a two-month resistance, 
which could set the stage for a retest of higher levels. Related Reading: XRP

BlackRock Files For Staked Ethereum ETF BlackRock has submitted an S-1 form 
with the US SEC to get approval for its iShares Ethereum Staking Trust (ETHB), 
which “seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of ether and 
rewards from staking a portion of the Trust’s ether, to the extent the Sponsor 
in its sole discretion determines that the Trust may do so without incurring 
undue legal or regulatory risk.” Filed on December 5, BlackRock’s registration 
statement explains that, if approved, the proposed fund aims to stake 70% to 
90% of its Ethereum holdings, distributing staking rewards to stakeholders at 
least quarterly. Coinbase Custody Trust will serve as the custodian for the 
Trust’s ETH holdings, the filing noted, while Anchorage Digital Bank will be 
an available alternative custodian for the Trust’s ether holdings. Meanwhile, 
the Bank of New York Mellon will serve as the custodian for the Trust’s cash 
holdings and the administrator of the Trust. Notably, BlackRock’s ETHB will 
operate separately from its spot ETH fund, the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF 
(ETHA), which is the largest in its category with $11 billion in assets under 
management (AUM). It’s worth noting that the crypto community began 
speculating about BlackRock’s upcoming staked ETH fund after the leading asset 
manager registered the name in Delaware last month. In a November report, 10x 
Research argued that the potential introduction of a staked Ethereum ETF by 
BlackRock would bring “increased scrutiny” to “the economics of DATs” as 
retail investors would reallocate to a low-cost source of yield. The report 
added that many investors are unaware that Digital Asset Treasury (DATs)’s 
embedded costs “far exceed” the management fee charged by asset managers like 
BlackRock on its Bitcoin (BTC) and ETH ETFs. ETH Nears Key Downtrend Line 
Ethereum’s price started the week attempting to reclaim a crucial area after 
managing to hold the $3,000 level as support despite the volatility during the 
weekend. The cryptocurrency surged nearly 3% in the daily timeframe, hitting 
$3,180 before retracing on Monday. Amid this performance, analyst Ali Martinez 
suggested that “it’s time to pay attention to ETH,” noting that it nears a key 
level that could push the price to higher zones. Per the chart, Ethereum 
briefly broke out of its two-month downtrend line, which has served as 
resistance since early October. Over this period, the King of Altcoins has 
attempted to break out of this level twice, but has ultimately been rejected 
during each attempt. On Monday morning, ETH briefly broke above the trendline 
before being rejected a third time. However, if Ethereum reclaims the 
$3,120-$3,130 levels and turns the downtrend into support, it could build the 
base for a retest of the $3,200-$3,300 horizontal levels, which marks the 
lower boundary of its Q3 and early Q4 price range. Related Reading: Bitcoin

Rekt Capital asserted that Ethereum Dominance (ETHDOM) continues to move 
within its macro consolidation range, holding support at the 11.67% level. He 
previously affirmed that if “ETHDOM can maintain itself above 10.05% then it 
should be positioned for higher market dominance levels over time.” The 
analyst added that although history suggests a potential 2.5% drop to the 
consolidation range lows, this dip would occur “in the context of a macro move 
to 18%-20%” in the future. As of this writing, Ethereum is trading at $3,114, 
a 13.7% increase on the weekly timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com,
