🤑 Corporations Gobble Ether Like It’s Going Out of Fashion! 🤑

by

Well, butter my biscuit and call me a wizard, it seems the bigwigs in their ivory towers have decided Ether is the new shiny toy! 🧙‍♂️ Corporations are snapping up Ether faster than a goblin grabs gold, leaving Bitcoin in the dust like yesterday’s news. According to the wise (and slightly stuffy) folks at Standard Chartered, these corporate types have already gobbled up 1% of the Ether supply since June. June! That’s barely enough time to brew a decent cup of tea! ☕

Apparently, Ether-focused treasury firms are doubling down on their investments, outpacing their Bitcoin-loving cousins. 🏇 Why? Because Ether’s not just a cryptocurrency; it’s a ticket to the staking and DeFi carnival, where the rides are wild and the rewards are sweet. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s just sitting there, looking like a grumpy old troll under a bridge. 🌉

Standard Chartered reckons this corporate feeding frenzy, coupled with the success of spot Ether ETFs, has given ETH’s price a kick up the backside. 🚀 They’re even whispering that ETH might soar past their $4,000 year-end forecast. Bold words, those bankers. Bold. Words.

“Buying by these companies, along with the best period for ETH ETFs on record, has certainly contributed to those gains.”

But hold your horses, folks! 🏇 Despite all this hoopla, ETH’s price is still 21% below its all-time high from November 2021. Seems like even the mighty Ether can’t outrun the ghosts of crypto past. 👻

Could Corporations Own 10% of All ETH? 🤯

Standard Chartered’s crystal ball says Ether treasury firms have more room to grow than Bitcoin’s, thanks to what they call “regulatory arbitrage.” 🧙‍♂️ In plain speak, Ether firms can dabble in staking and DeFi shenanigans, while Bitcoin firms are left twiddling their thumbs. The bank’s prediction? These corporate giants might end up owning 10% of all ETH. That’s a tenfold increase, folks! Ten. Fold.

“We think they may eventually end up owning 10% of all ETH, a 10x increase from current holdings.”

Leading the charge is BitMine Immersion Tech, the biggest Ether treasury firm, holding 0.5% of the circulating ETH supply. They’ve got grand plans to acquire up to 5% of the Ether supply, which means snapping up another 6 million ETH tokens. That’s a lot of zeros, even for a wizard’s abacus. 🧮

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more bonkers, along comes the Ether Machine, a shiny new company with plans to launch “one of the largest onchain ETH positions of any public entity.” They’re aiming to gobble up over 400,000 ETH, worth more than $1.5 billion, and list on the Nasdq under the ticker “ETHM.” Because why not? 🚀

So there you have it, folks. Corporations are on an Ether binge, and the crypto world is watching with a mix of awe and mild indigestion. Will they reach their lofty goals, or will they choke on their own ambition? Only time (and a bit of magical intervention) will tell. 🧙‍♂️✨
