Why This Matters
US Bitcoin Spot ETFs have seen $2.8 billion flow in. This shows people are eager to invest in crypto without the hassle of owning it directly. Ethereum’s gas fees are up, thanks to the new ERC-404 token standard. This means more activity and interest in Ethereum.
Franklin Templeton’s move is a big deal. It shows that major investment firms are getting serious about crypto. This could mean more options for investors and a bigger push into the mainstream for cryptocurrencies.
