When $ETH<\/a> breaks, it won\u2019t wait. \u2014 Merlijn The Trader (@MerlijnTrader) August 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Momentum is being driven by Ethereum treasury companies, and the world\u2019s largest one<\/a>, BitMine Immersion Technologies, has just filed<\/a> a prospectus with the SEC to raise an additional $20 billion through sales of common stock.<\/p>\n Prior to this update, Tom Lee\u2019s firm reported that it had already completed sales under the program totaling roughly $4.5 billion.<\/p>\n BitMine, which already holds almost 1.2 million ETH worth around $5.3 billion, is expected to channel the proceeds into more ETH accumulation.<\/p>\n $20 billion would equate to more than 4 million ETH at current market prices. Analysts have already started<\/a> to say that $15,000 per ETH is \u201calready programmed.\u201d<\/p>\n This immense buying pressure has only been matched by spot Ether ETFs, as retail has been largely absent from this rally.<\/p>\n ETH ETFs have seen another massive inflow day following their record $1 billion inflow<\/a> on Monday, driven by BlackRock\u2019s record $640 million inflow.<\/p>\n Tuesday saw another $523 million inflow and the fifth-best day since the products launched. Around $2.3 billion has entered the products over the past five trading days.<\/p>\n \u201cSince the beginning of July, spot ETH ETFs have taken in nearly $1.5 billion more than spot BTC ETFs,\u201d observed industry expert Nate Geraci, who added that this was a \u201cnotable shift.\u201d<\/p>\n Another half bil into spot eth ETFs\u2026<\/p>\n 5th best day since launch.<\/p>\n Now $2.3bil over past 5 trading days.<\/p>\n Since beginning of July, spot eth ETFs have taken in nearly $1.5bil more than spot btc ETFs.<\/p>\n Notable shift.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) August 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n The post Ethereum Tops $4,600 as BitMine Eyes $20B ETH Treasury<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ether prices have surged to their highest levels for almost four years, tapping $4,625 during Asian trading early on Wednesday morning.
