Ethereum News Update: The Future Direction of Ethereum Hinges on Federal Reserve Rate Reductions and Accommodative Policy Signals

A 50 basis point reduction could propel Ethereum higher at a faster pace, while a 25 basis point cut might lead to a steadier climb. Traders are also closely watching BlackRock's Ethereum ETF approach and broader economic signals for further guidance.
