Bitmine Immersion Technologies is considering slowing its purchases of ether after rapidly accumulating a large stake in the cryptocurrency. Chairman Tom Lee made the remarks during a keynote at Consensus 2026 in Miami on Thursday. The firm has amassed over 5.1 million ETH valued at approximately $11.9 billion.
Galaxy, led by Mike Novogratz, and Sharplink have launched a $125 million private fund that will invest staked Ether in decentralized finance strategies. The move comes as institutions increasingly seek yield from their Ethereum holdings. Sharplink also reported a large quarterly loss.

BlackRock has introduced its first staking Ethereum ETF, ticker ETHB, on March 12, offering investors staking rewards previously unavailable in similar funds. Ethereum's price, trading at around $2,056, has been rising for four days but remains in a horizontal channel indicative of a bearish flag pattern. This development comes as existing Ethereum ETFs hold over $11.85 billion in assets without staking benefits.
Spot ETFs for bitcoin and ethereum have experienced four consecutive months of outflows totaling over $9 billion since November, while XRP and solana ETFs continue to see inflows. This divergence suggests investors are rotating toward altcoins amid market pressures. Experts describe it as standard portfolio adjustments rather than a full retreat from cryptocurrencies.
