What to know:
- BitMine Immersion Technologies now holds 163,142 ETH worth around $500 million.
- The firm's strategy is to accumulate a large ETH balance sheet, similar to Strategy's bitcoin play.
- The move boosted BMNR's shares by over 40%, and comes as ether treasuries, including those of decentralized organizations and publicly traded companies, now hold a total of 1.5 million ETH.
BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), the ether strategy firm led by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, moved quickly to turn dollars into cryptocurrency.
The Las Vegas-based company's share rose as much as 40% after it said it now holds 163,142 ETH, worth about $500 million, up from the $250 million it raised in a private placement on July 9.

Tom Lee likened the approach to Strategy’s (MSTR) well-known bitcoin play, arguing that that company's large BTC holdings make the company attractive as a “sovereign put.” Lee said Strategy was an attractive bet “if a nation ever wanted to acquire 5% of the Bitcoin network.”
“Similarly, ETH Treasuries, which accumulate 5% of ETH supply, can benefit from a similar 'Wall Street put,’” Lee said.
Monday's share price surge follows last week's 65% plunge related to the $2 billion at-the-market offering. The shares were recently trading around $4.88, down from $6.25 on July 10.
Ether is down around 9% this year while bitcoin is up around 29%.
Over the weekend, bitcoin mining firm BTC Digital allocated $1 million of its cash into ETH, which it said was its new digital gold. In total, 1.5 million ETH is currently held across ether treasuries, which include decentralized autonomous organizations and publicly traded companies, according to Strategic ETH Reserve.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
