Ethereum Soars: BitMine Amasses 560K ETH as ETHA Celebrates $10B Inflow Milestone
Ethereum's bull run just got a institutional stamp of approval—BitMine's vault now bulges with 560,000 ETH while ETHA's one-year anniversary sparks a $10 billion flood of fresh capital.
Whales Are Stacking, Retail Is FOMOing
BitMine's aggressive accumulation signals deep conviction in ETH's long-term value proposition. Meanwhile, ETHA's eye-popping inflows suggest even traditional finance tourists are now scrambling for a seat at the crypto table—better late than never, right?
The Institutional Tipping Point
When custody solutions start rivaling hedge fund AUM numbers, you know the game has changed. ETHA's $10 billion haul proves crypto's 'institutional adoption' phase isn't coming—it's already here, complete with all the over-leveraged euphoria Wall Street can muster.
Ethereum's ecosystem keeps printing these headline-grabbing metrics while Bitcoin maximalists clutch their spreadsheets. The smart money? It's not sitting on the sidelines waiting for 'regulation clarity'—it's building positions big enough to move markets.
Ethereum price today: $3,680
- BitMine ETH holdings cross the $2 billion mark after purchasing an additional 266,000 ETH last week.
- BlackRock's Ethereum ETF hit the $10 billion mark, becoming the third fastest in history to achieve this milestone.
- ETH retested the key resistance at $3,780 after bouncing off the 20-period EMA on the 12-hour chart.
Ethereum (ETH) moved toward the $3,780 resistance on Thursday after crypto treasury company BitMine (BMNR) announced that it had grown its holdings to more than 560,000 ETH over the past week. Meanwhile, BlackRock iShares ethereum Trust (ETHA) hit the $10 billion mark, becoming the third fastest ETF in history to reach the milestone.
BitMine scales treasury above 560K ETH, ETHA inflows hit $10 billion
BitMine Immersion Technologies said that its Ethereum holdings exceeded $2 billion on Thursday. The company's stash has grown by over 700% above the $250 million private placement it used to kick-start its treasury.
BitMine now holds 566,776 ETH, making it the largest corporate holder of ETH. The company's large purchase pushed it above SharpLink Gaming, which holds 360,807 ETH. BitMine has purchased approximately 266,109 ETH for over $1 billion since last week. The MOVE adds to the company's vision of purchasing up to 5% of the total ETH supply.
"We are well on our way to achieving our goal of acquiring and staking 5% of the overall ETH supply," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Fundstrat CIO and Chairman of BitMine's board of directors.
The development follows the one-year trading anniversary of US spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have marked a cumulative net inflow of $8.88 billion, according to SoSoValue data.
Likewise, BlackRock's Ethereum ETF, ETHA, set a new milestone as the third-fastest ETF to hit the $10 billion mark, behind the firm's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC products, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.
ETHA achieved the milestone in 251 days, compared to 34 days for IBIT and 53 days for FBTC. Notably, the product added $5 billion in assets under management (AUM) in just ten days, signaling strong growth in Ethereum products despite their poor start last year.
