Harvard shifts $87M to ETH as Schwab adds ETH trading

Institutional interest in Ethereum is rising as Harvard reportedly shifted about $87M into ETH while reducing Bitcoin exposure, and Charles Schwab launched direct trading for BTC and ETH. The moves — Harvard via BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust and Schwab’s inclusion of ETH on its Schwab Crypto platform — reflect growing regulatory clarity (cited initiatives: GENIUS, CLARITY) and easier institutional access to ETH. Market impact: improved institutional pathways and endorsement from major financial actors could increase demand, reduce adoption friction, and strengthen ETH’s case as a monetary asset alongside BTC, potentially supporting upside in ETH markets and accelerating mainstream allocation trends.
