Why does BlackRock’s BUIDL matter for ETHUSD today?

BUIDL shows tokenization at scale on Ethereum, not just a pilot. It can draw real assets, fees, and institutions on-chain, which supports steady activity and validator economics. That raises the chance that future ETH demand ties to utility, not only sentiment, improving the long-term case while near-term price still depends on flows.

What technical levels are most useful for ETH traders now?

Watch the Bollinger mid near 2249.90 USD and Keltner mid near 2229.09 for tone shifts. A close back above those with rising volume would be constructive. On weakness, the Keltner lower near 1916.42 and Bollinger lower near 1464.64 frame downside risk. Always account for EUR conversion and fees at your broker.

How should investors in Germany size ETH within a portfolio?

Keep exposure modest, such as 1% to 3% within a diversified mix, then adjust with confirmed momentum and improving breadth. Use staggered entries, clear stop levels, and avoid leverage unless experienced. Consider regulated ETPs for simpler EUR access and custody. Review taxes and staking terms with a qualified advisor before committing.

Is Solana a threat to Ethereum’s on-chain finance lead?

Solana excels in speed and consumer use, including collectibles, while Ethereum leads in compliance-friendly finance and liquidity depth. Both can thrive. For Ethereum on-chain finance, RWA settlement, auditing tools, and ecosystem maturity remain key edges. Diversifying a small sleeve across ecosystems can reduce platform risk while keeping upside exposure.
