By: news todayq|2025/05/15 22:45:17

BTCS, a publicly traded company based in Maryland, has signed a $57.8 million funding round with ATW Partners, the fund raised will be primarily used to buy more Ethereum. Ether is the 2nd most prominent crypto of the market and is currently exchanging hands at $2,532 with a loss of 2.53% in the past 24 hours. It is worth noting that the funds will also be used to expand its business in the blockchain industry. The amount of Ethereum bought will be used to run validator nodes and will earn revenue by staking Ethereum. The Chief Executive Officer BTCS, Charles Allen said that their decision to buy Ether is inspired by strategy used by MicroStrategy (now Strategy) and is now one that holds the highest Bitcoin in terms of publicly listed companies. BTCS is planning to remain committed to Ethereum investment to prepare a pipeline for long-term income. A quick dive into the Ethereum price Over the past few days, Ethereum prices have continued to show a bullish sign, but in the last 12 to 24 hours, prices have remained steady and slow. Experts believe that there are higher chances of Ethereum crossing the mark of $4,000 by probably Q3 end end. It is important to note that. As per the data from CoinMarketCap, Ether has lowest traded at $1,540 and highest trading price is $2,736, the nearing to $2,900 resistance help to speculation that its prices will cross $3,000. With a circulating supply of 120.73 million ETH and a current market valuation of $313.23 billion, Ethereum is still the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap despite this daily decline. The Pectra upgrade, which was put into effect on May 7, 2025, has improved user freedom and staking limitations, which has improved market sentiment and solidified Ethereum’s standing as a top blockchain for decentralized applications. Significant short liquidations, which have totaled $437.94 million since May 8, have also contributed to the upward trend by forcing short sellers to repurchase ETH. ETH has maintained important support levels between $1,850 and $2,000, according to analysts on X, with resistance looming at $2,900 to $3,800. While a decline below $1,800 would test lower levels at $1,688 or $1,470, a sustained breakout over $2,100 might open the door for additional gains. Technical indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence and Relative Strength Index show waning bearish momentum, with the possibility of bullish continuation if important levels hold. Until publishing, the crypto market cap was $3.3 trillion with a loss of 2.00% in the past 24 hours, and the trading volume is $114 billion, which was recorded $164 billion the previous day.
