The price of ether, the native token to the Ethereum network, rose past $3,000 for the first time since April 2022 on Monday, continuing a recent hot streak.
BlackRock had previously filed an S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its iShares Ethereum Trust, a spot ether exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The way ether options are priced suggests investor preference for bets that prices will fall, contradicting the bullish outlook presented by some analysts.
