Bitmine Immersion Technologies increased its Ether holdings to 5.54 million ETH after acquiring nearly 127,000 tokens over the past week, bringing its treasury to 4.59% of Ethereum's total supply. The company said it has now reached 92% of its stated goal of acquiring 5% of Ethereum's total supply, a strategy it calls the “Alchemy of 5%.” It added that 4.72 million ETH (ETH), or about 85% of its holdings, are currently staked through validator infrastructure, worth roughly $7.7 billion at current prices. Bitmine projected $230 million in annualized staking revenue from its current staked ETH position, with rewards potentially rising to $270 million if…

Bit Digital purchased $20 million worth of Ether earlier this month, increasing its holdings to roughly 158,462 ETH. The Nasdaq-listed company said Thursday it acquired 8,568 ETH (ETH) on May 11 at an average price of $2,334.25 per token. CEO Sam Tabar said the purchase reduced Bit Digital’s average ETH acquisition cost and was part of the company’s strategy to grow net asset value per share through Ethereum accumulation, AI infrastructure and acquisitions.
Standard Chartered reaffirms bullish Ether price targets, citing strong network fundamentals even as ETH trades 57% below its 2025 peak and fund flows turn negative. Standard Chartered says Ethereum’s network activity remains close to record levels even as Ether (ETH) trades far below last year’s highs, arguing that the gap between usage and price could eventually narrow.

ETH has fallen about 57% from its August 2025 peak of above $4,800 to under $2,000 at the time of writing, according to Coingecko data. StanChart's global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, reaffirm…

“Ethereum got the ETH price it deserves, and I don’t see ETH being rerated as an asset, higher or lower,” says David Hoffman. David Hoffman, an Ethereum advocate and the co-founder of the media company Bankless, said he sold the remainder of his Ether (ETH) holdings last week because the “ETH is Money” thesis has largely “played out.” Hoffman said in an X post on Tuesday that “Ethereum got the ETH price it deserves, and I don’t see ETH being rerated as an asset, higher or lower.” Hoffman said that Ethereum “has done incredibly well, and deserves the market cap that it has,” but the “window of opportunity for ETH to be ‘rerated’ by the market seems to be closing.”
Everstake said staking made up 60% of disclosed revenue among six Ethereum treasury firms, while loss-making companies posted $1.41 billion in losses. Ethereum treasury companies are under pressure to generate revenue from staking and other yield strategies as spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) weaken the appeal of public companies that simply hold Ether (ETH), according to a new Everstake report. Staking accounted for an average of 60% of reported revenue among six ETH treasury firms that separately disclosed staking-related income, the staking infrastructure provider said. Everstake reviewed 15 publicly listed companies with ETH treasury strategies and found that the firms in its sample that reported 2025 losses posted about $1.41 billion in combined net losses. Separately, BitMine…
Ether price eyes a 14% drop to $1,800 as it trades in a classic bearish pattern amid declining total value locked on the Ethereum network. Ether’s (ETH) price printed a “bear pennant” on the daily chart, a technical chart formation associated with strong downward momentum. Could a weakening technical setup and a decline in total value locked signal the continuation of ETH’s correction to $1,800? Key takeaways: Ether’s 13% drop from its multi-month highs above $2,400 saw it breach a key trend line that has supported the price since early February.
ETH’s rebound toward the whale’s liquidation zone near $2,150 puts its short at risk of over $1 million in potential losses.

Key takeaways: As of Monday, the wallet '0x50b...' held a 47,600 ETH short position worth about $100.72 million, according to Hypurrscan data. The trade used roughly 23x cross-margin leverage, with an entry price near $2,094.92.

Ethereum’s dominance in DeFi, stablecoins and staking is strengthening the long-term ETH accumulation thesis, despite it’s 28% price decline in 2026. Ether’s (ETH) long-term investment case is drawing fresh attention as Ethereum continues to lead in key areas of onchain activity and decentralized finance, despite the altcoin losing 28% of its value this year. The network still hosts roughly $43 billion in DeFi liquidity, more than $165 billion in stablecoins, and about 55% of tokenized assets tracked across public blockchains. Data from Token Terminal also shows that the market capitalization of tokenized exchange-traded funds (ETFs) exceeds $400 million, with Ethereum accounting for 76.9% of the market share. Referencing the data above, crypto analyst Tanaka said,
OFAC sanctioned six Ethereum addresses linked to a Sinaloa Cartel money laundering network allegedly converting drug proceeds into crypto. The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned six Ethereum addresses tied to a Sinaloa Cartel-linked money laundering network that allegedly converted drug proceeds into cryptocurrency. OFAC added the addresses to its Specially Designated Nationals list (a US sanctions list of people, entities and assets subject to blocking restrictions) on Wednesday as part of sanctions against 11 individuals and two entities connected to two Sinaloa Cartel financial networks. Treasury said one network, led by Armando de Jesus Ojeda Aviles, collected bulk cash in the US from fentanyl and other drug sales before allegedly convert…
Ethereum is flashing a warning of a familiar bearish pattern that preceded a 41% drop in January, raising risks of a fresh breakdown. Market analysts say Ether’s (ETH) price may drop to $1,000 if a breakdown from a bearish chart pattern is confirmed.

Crypto platforms Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, Keycard, WalletConnect, Argot and Fireblocks are among the earliest adopters and contributors to Clear Signing, aimed at ending “blind signing.” The Ethereum community has introduced Clear Signing, a security feature that ensures users can clearly understand transaction details before signing, replacing unreadable hex data and reducing risks from blind signing attacks. “Approving a transaction is meant to be the last line of defense when exercising control over what happens to your assets on the blockchain. When it is done blindly, that defense does not hold,” the Ethereum Foundation said on Tuesday, calling blind signing a “structural flaw” that has contributed to billions of dollars in losses, including the $1.4 billion Bybit hack last year. The…
ETH futures and options signal quiet confidence among pros despite macro headwinds and DeFi exploits, keeping the $2,600 price target in play. Key takeaways: Ether (ETH) price failed to sustain bullish momentum after peaking near $2,380 on Sunday.
