The SEC just gave crypto ETFs a major upgrade, quietly approving in-kind creations and redemptions.
It may sound technical, but this is huge.

💰 Spot ETH ETFs had their biggest day ever: $1.01B inflows
🏦 Corporates + ETFs now hold ~8% of supply (5% in ETFs alone)
📈 Price up 45% in 30 days, with exchange balances at a 9-year low
Institutions didn’t miss Bitcoin twice. They’re piling into Ethereum.
Every cycle has its craze. Right now, it’s crypto treasury companies
They’ve raised $22B this year alone, turning balance sheets into leveraged bets on crypto
The twist? They’re no longer just HODLing…
