US exchange-traded funds for Ether posted record inflows and trading volumes as key crypto legislation endorsed by President Donald Trump advances.After a sluggish start to the year, investors on Wednesday poured $727 million into the group of nine ETFs, which also logged $2.6 billion in trading volume as Ether rallied. Open interest in Ether futures on CME Group also hit a fresh high, signaling mounting institutional demand for the second-largest cryptocurrency.Midway through what's been dubbed " Crypto Week " by a congressional committee, Republican conservatives on Wednesday dropped a two-day blockade of industry-backed crypto bills, paving the way for House votes on a series of measures backed by Trump.The rally in Ether adds to the momentum for crypto bulls, who pounced after the November election on bets that the second Trump presidency would usher in a new era of permissive regulation.Broadly speaking, they've been rewarded: leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin romped to a record $123,205 on Monday.Ether, which has long lagged Bitcoin and closer rivals like Solana, rose as much as 2.6% to $3,469 in early London trading on Thursday, its highest level since January.Bitcoin slipped 1.4% but continued to hold above $118,000.

Boebert, who serves in Colorado's fourth congressional district, described the occurrence as a 'one-time incident' and stated that the boy was unharmed. 'I am confident this is a one-time incident that we have addressed as a family,' the 38-year-old grandmother said. In 2023, the three-term congresswoman revealed that Tyler's partner became pregnant with his child while he was just 17 years old. This case is the most recent in a series of legal troubles affecting Boebert's eldest son.

He was ticketed for reckless driving, but as part of a plea agreement with Garfield County prosecutors, the matter was ultimately reduced to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' violation. Tyler reported his father's abuse of him at their house to the police in January 2024. In a Garfield County arrest document, Jayson Boebert was charged with pushing Tyler to the floor and putting his thumb in his mouth, which led to his arrest. Tyler was on two-year probation after entering a guilty plea to trying identity theft in October 2024. Boebert was barred from using illicit substances and had to perform 80 hours of volunteer work as part of his probation, according to Westword. Tyler Boebert is expected to appear in Weld County Court regarding the child abuse complaint on September 8.
