# Today I Suddenly Decided to Upgrade My Browser Helmet (Braavos) Wallet

The wallet always had an upgrade prompt hanging there, and today I finally couldn't resist upgrading it.

Since the wallet only had a tiny bit of ETH, and the Helmet wallet upgrade requires STRK as gas, I had no choice but to withdraw STRK from the exchange. The withdrawal fee is really cheap—only 0.0033U. It's incredibly affordable.

Then I discovered that a meme coin $brother I bought before in the wallet has already gone to zero. It's really gone to zero.

I've realized that the ultimate destination of every meme coin is going to zero.

The Starknet chain's flip-flop wallet (Ready Wallet, formerly Argent) doesn't need to upgrade, and it supports either ETH or STRK as gas when swapping—very user-friendly.

Actually, I think the STRK chain is very secure because when it comes to wallet transactions, you can set up 2FA verification and bind email verification codes. Every time funds move, it requires Web2 verification methods. I think this approach is even safer than multi-sig wallets. Even if you lose your private keys, the wallet's assets remain secure. STRK wallets are really suitable for holding coins.

With such a good product, the market just isn't buying it, or perhaps the valuation was severely overpriced at launch. So now the STRK token price has dropped 99% from its peak.

BTC and ETH went up again today. A positive catalyst was:

BlackRock has launched the world's first Ethereum ETF supporting staking—the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB), which officially started trading on Nasdaq today (Thursday).

This marks institutional-grade products further embracing ETH staking mechanisms, providing investors with dual appeal: price exposure plus staking yield.

The ETF will hold spot ETH and use some assets for network staking, meeting investors' yield requirements while retaining the custody and trading advantages of an ETF.

Today's ETF listing is a clear catalyst. I recommend monitoring ETHB's first-day AUM on Nasdaq and on-chain ETH staking volume changes.

Barring unexpected developments, I'm bullish on ETH in the short term.

However, the market changes in an instant, so the above does not constitute financial advice.
