Ethereum Treasuries Surge to $16 Billion: A New Era of Institutional Investment

Institutional investors are increasingly leveraging Ethereum treasury firms to securely manage their holdings, with over $16 billion in ETH already locked up by companies like BitMine Immersion. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, sees this approach as a positive development while expressing concern about potential risks like borrowing and market instability. His cautious outlook is in contrast to Tom Lee, CEO of Fundstrat and BitMine Immersion, who shares Buterin’s optimism but highlights the unique strengths of Ethereum compared to Bitcoin. 3.7 million ETH is already locked away by these firms.
