Tom Lee's BitMine Adds $44M in Ethereum

The post Tom Lee’s Bitmine Immersion Now Hold 3.4% ETH Supply appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitmine Immersion, led by Tom Lee, has now accumulated a 3.4% share of the total Ethereum circulating supply. As Bitmine emerged as one of the largest ETH holders, exchange supply dropped sharply, with only 16.3 million ETH left for trading.

Despite this strong accumulation, Ethereum’s price has slipped by around 4%, trading below the $3,200 level.

Bitmine Holds 3.4% of Ethereum Supply

According to the latest data, Bitmine Immersion now controls more than 4.167 million ETH, equal to about 3.4% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. With a value of nearly $13.32 billion, this makes Bitmine one of the largest ETH holders in the world.

Bitmine’s steady accumulation over recent months clearly aligns with Chairman Tom Lee’s long-term vision of owning close to 5% of Ethereum’s total supply. The slow and consistent buying shows a long-term belief in ETH, not a short-term trading move.

Other institutions are also building positions. Sharplink, for example, holds around 864,000 ETH, worth roughly $3.1 billion, giving it about 0.7% of the total supply. 

On top of that, spot Ethereum ETFs have gathered nearly $19.7 billion in holdings since launch, adding further pressure on available supply.

ETH Supply on Exchanges Keeps Shrinking

With institutions locking away large amounts of ETH, exchange balances are falling. According to CryptoQuant data, only about 16.3 million ETH remain on exchanges for trading.

When fewer coins are available for trading, even small increases in demand can have a strong impact on price over time.

Ethereum Price Is Still Struggling

Despite strong accumulation and shrinking exchange balances, Ethereum’s price has slipped recently, trading near $3,200, down around 4% on the day. This recent drop followed ongoing geopolitical tension after Donald Trump threatened 10% tariffs on several European countries.

Indeed, the technical chart hint bullish upside for ETH. According to popular trader Merlijn the Trader, Ethereum is now “coiled,” with several bullish signals. 

His chart highlights a falling wedge breakout, a double bottom, and improving momentum. According to him, $3,300 is the key level. As long as Ethereum stays above it, the bullish setup remains intact. 

If this level holds, ETH could move higher toward the $3,900 to $4,000 range, which stands as the next major target.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
