Ethereum continues to gain popularity, with significant activity from institutional investors and network users alike.
Institutions Take Charge
Corporate treasuries and investment funds have significantly increased their Ethereum reserves. Since April, fund-controlled reserves have more than doubled to 6.5 million ETH. A standout player is BitMine, which after a $201 million purchase became the largest corporate holder of Ethereum with over 2.1 million ETH.
Locked Supply and Rising Demand
From a technical standpoint, Ethereum’s proof-of-stake model is tightening supply faster than ever. Over 36 million ETH is staked, and the queue to become a validator exceeds $3.6 billion. With an increase in staking and coins leaving exchanges, analysts anticipate a potential supply squeeze.
Network at Peak Performance
Activity on the Ethereum blockchain is also setting records, with over 12 million daily smart contract calls recorded, highlighting Ethereum's role as a backbone for decentralized finance and tokenized assets.
The combination of institutional buying, aggressive staking, and rising on-chain activity creates optimal conditions for Ethereum in 2025, solidifying its position in the financial market.
