Trend Towards Corporate Ethereum Reserves
A notable trend has emerged in the formation of corporate reserves in Ethereum. Several large companies have significantly increased their positions in ETH:
- SharpLink Gaming has accumulated over 464,000 ETH
- ETHZilla has formed a treasury of $425 million
- The Ether Machine has invested around $57 million
According to analysts at Bernstein, staking Ethereum worth $1 billion could generate up to $50 million in annual profit, making this asset particularly attractive to corporate investors.
Regulatory Changes in the U.S.
A significant milestone was the publication of a report by the working group under the U.S. President regarding cryptocurrency regulation. The document emphasizes the importance of digital assets for the country’s economic growth and proposes specific steps for industry development. The SEC has also launched Project Crypto to reform the digital asset market.
Particular attention should be given to the successful IPO of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) for $2.52 billion, which became the largest placement in the U.S. cryptocurrency sector for 2025. The company additionally plans to attract up to $4.2 billion in investments.
According to Global Ledger, in the first half of 2025, hackers stole cryptocurrencies worth $3.01 billion as a result of 119 attacks, which is 55% higher than the total for 2024. Only 4.6% of the stolen funds have been recovered.
