Beacon Chain Balance
Beacon Chain - Over the past week, the Beacon Chain balance continued to edge higher, rising from ~37.8M ETH to over 38M ETH for the first time.
The move comes as BlackRock’s iShares Staked Ethereum Trust (ETHB) has reached $254M (118.0K ETH) in assets under management just over a week after launch on March 12th.
The fund stands out by staking 70–95% of its ETH holdings and distributing 82% of staking rewards to investors via monthly payments, giving traditional investors regulated exposure to both Ethereum and its native yield.
