The price of Ether (ETH), the cryptocurrency that powers the Ethereum blockchain, is shooting higher on Thursday in wake of the news that US asset management giant BlackRock just registered the iShares Ethereum Trust in Delaware.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $8.5 trillion in investor funds under management, made a similar move registered its iShares Bitcoin Trust seven days ahead of filing for its spot Bitcoin ETF application back in June.

Analysts are thus anticipating that BlackRock is likewise on the verge of filing a new spot Ether ETF application and that this could kickstart a wave of applications from other major asset managers.
ETH was last changing hands around $2,040, its highest level since April.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, hit its highest levels of the year earlier on Thursday near $38,000, with the asset having seen a stunning 50% pump since mid-October, mostly as a result of optimism that the US SEC will soon approve spot Bitcoin ETFs.
With Ether up a more modest 33% from its mid-October lows, and still below its earlier yearly highs, there may be scope for a bit of “catch-up” to Bitcoin.
Few would be surprised to see the Ether price vault to the north of earlier yearly highs just under $2,150.

Ethereum’s price has exploded higher over the past week, surging over 15% to break above the key $2,000 level. This marks the first time ETH has traded above $2,000 since April 2023, signaling a potential trend reversal for the second largest cryptocurrency.
The registration of an Ethereum Trust by BlackRock, a $9 trillion asset manager, in Delaware has been a significant factor in driving up the value of Ethereum. This move by BlackRock is seen as a major endorsement for Ethereum, potentially attracting a wave of institutional investors to the cryptocurrency.

After breaking out from a falling wedge pattern, Ethereum staged a powerful rally that allowed it to smash through the $1,800 resistance area as well as the 200-day moving average. This breakout indicates bulls have regained control of the market after months of bearish pressure.
The recent price action has turned the short-term and medium-term trends bullish for ETH, although the long-term trend remains in a downtrend. Momentum indicators like the MACD have ticked higher into bullish territory, but are showing signs of waning, suggesting the crypto may be due for a pullback or consolidation around $2,000 before continuing higher.

One indication that Ethereum may be overbought in the short-term is its Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading above 80 on the daily chart. The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and rate of an asset’s price movement. Readings above 70 generally indicate overbought conditions, while levels below 30 signal oversold.
Ethereum’s daily RSI surged to as high as 83 during the recent breakout, its highest level since 2021. The last two times ETH’s RSI hit these elevated levels in early 2021 and mid-2022, a significant pullback followed.
While high RSI readings can persist in strong uptrends, the current extremely overbought conditions suggest Ethereum could see a cool-off in the coming days. The key support level to watch is the breakout point near $1,800. As long as bulls can defend this area on any pullbacks, the uptrend should remain intact.
While Ethereum’s push above $2,000 is no doubt an exciting development for bulls, it may be too early to call this the start of a true “altcoin season.” ETH remains well below its 2021 high near $5,000 and has significant resistance around $2,400. A sustained move above that level would signal the crypto bull market is back in full swing.

Blockchain technology has emerged as a disruptive force with the potential to reshape various industries, from finance and supply chain management to healthcare and beyond. In this article, we'll explore what blockchain is, how it works, and the impact it's having on our world.### Understanding BlockchainAt its core, blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger that records transactions across a network of computers. Unlike traditional databases, which are typically centralized, blockchain operates on a peer-to-peer network. Each transaction is securely recorded in a "block," and these blocks are linked together in a chronological chain, hence the name "blockchain." This structure ensures transparency, security, and immutability of data.### Key Characteristics1. Decentralization: A blockchain network doesn't rely on a central authority. This means there's no single point of control or failure, making it highly resistant to censorship or tampering.2. Transparency: All participants in the network can view the entire transaction history, fostering trust and accountability.3. Security: Cryptography ensures that once a transaction is added to the blockchain, it's nearly impossible to alter or delete, making it highly secure.4. Smart Contracts: These self-executing contracts automate and enforce agreements when predefined conditions are met, reducing the need for intermediaries.### Impact on Various Sectors#### FinanceBlockchain's most well-known application is in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It enables secure, fast, and low-cost peer-to-peer transactions. Beyond that, it has the potential to streamline financial processes, reduce fraud, and improve transparency in the banking and payment industries.#### Supply ChainIn the supply chain, blockchain can help track the movement of goods from manufacturer to consumer. This ensures authenticity, reduces counterfeiting, and increases efficiency by simplifying record-keeping.#### HealthcareHealthcare providers are exploring blockchain to securely store and share patient data, which can improve data accuracy and ensure privacy. Moreover, it can help with the traceability of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment.#### Voting SystemsBlockchain can enhance the security and transparency of voting systems, making elections more reliable and resistant to manipulation.#### EntertainmentArtists and creators can benefit from blockchain by directly monetizing their work, cutting out intermediaries, and ensuring fair compensation for their content.### Challenges and ConcernsWhile the potential of blockchain is vast, there are challenges to address, such as scalability, energy consumption (in the case of Proof of Work blockchains), and regulatory issues. Moreover, as blockchain systems become more complex, the risk of security breaches and vulnerabilities increases.### ConclusionBlockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize industries by providing secure, transparent, and decentralized solutions to age-old problems. As the technology continues to mature, it will be intriguing to witness the full extent of its impact on our world, as well as how it evolves to meet the challenges that lie ahead. Whether it's in finance, healthcare, supply chain, or elsewhere, blockchain is poised to leave an indelible mark on our digital future.#BlockchainLife #DecentralizedExchanges #CryptoLandscape #solana #Ethererum
