“In the final week of 2025, total equity and crypto activity slowed, and yet we acquired 32,977 ETH. We remain the largest ‘fresh money’ buyer of ETH in the world.” — Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine.

Per industry analysts, continued ETH staking could ease the near-term selling pressure on the asset, driving potential price upside. Lee has signaled positive prospects for crypto in 2026, noting that digital assets tend to follow precious metals price movements.
