Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin holds above $36,600, Ethereum jumps 10% as BlackRock files a spot ETH ETF with NASDAQ

Major crypto tokens were trading mixed in Friday's trade with a positive bias. Bitcoin (-0.3%), XRP (-5%), Dogecoin (-2.8%), and Toncoin (-7%) were trading in the red, while Ethereum (9.7%), Solana (5.5%), Polygon (3.6%), Cardano, and BNB were trading in the green.

Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap increased by 1.8% to around $1.4 trillion in the last 24 hours. At the same time, the market cap of Ethereum, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, surged to $253 billion.

On Friday, Ethereum experienced a significant surge, surpassing the $2,000 resistance level with a more than 10% increase. This growth was driven after the asset management giant BlackRock registered to create an Ethereum trust, a potential first step toward asking regulators to approve an exchange-traded fund tied to ether, the second-largest digital token.
