Ethereum’s price remains volatile amidst the dynamic interplay of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) funds and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Key observations from recent data include significant institutional investment through ETFs and a boost in Ethereum’s value as a result of increased trading volume. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, emphasizes the significance of the upcoming Fusaka upgrade for scaling Ethereum’s Layer 2 functionality, highlighting its potential impact on Ethereum’s long-term success. However, recent retail investor outflows have been countered by BlackRock’s substantial ETF holdings. This suggests a more pronounced influence from institutional investment as market conditions continue to evolve.
