【Blockchain Rhythm】A major cryptocurrency asset management firm announced today that its total assets under management have surpassed $14 billion. As of the evening of January 11, the company’s crypto assets and cash reserves are as follows:

• 4,167,768 ETH • 193 BTC • Strategic investment valued at $23 million in a publicly listed holding company • Cash reserves of $988 million

This ETH holding accounts for 3.45% of the current total circulating supply of ETH (1.207 billion), indicating that the institution has become a significant large-scale holder in the market.

The company’s leader mentioned in a recent statement that 2026 will see multiple positive signals in the crypto space. The widespread adoption of stablecoins and asset tokenization are driving blockchain to become the settlement infrastructure on Wall Street, with Ethereum benefiting the most from this wave. The sharp decline in October last year was described as a “mini crypto winter,” but they believe 2026 will be the year of a crypto price rebound, with stronger growth expected in 2027-2028.

Notably, the company added 24,266 ETH in the past week and increased its cash holdings by $73 million. They continue to issue shares at a price above the adjusted net asset value, remaining active as the world’s largest Ethereum “incremental capital” buyer in the market. The company also revealed that once a major protocol launches commercial operations, they will become the largest staking service provider in the entire crypto ecosystem.

ETH-2,06%

BTC-0,92%

Wow, a $14 billion market cap, who is this? Feels like it's about to change the game rules. ETH accounts for 3.45% of circulating supply. How much money would need to be invested? It's a bit scary. Talking about 2026 again, every time it's the same story. How reliable is this? Only 193 BTC? Compared to that, this ETH holding is really impressive. Stablecoins and tokenization? Would Wall Street folks really buy into this? Feels more like a pipe dream. When big institutions enter the market, should retail investors cry or smile? With such a heavy holding, if there's a dump, we could be in trouble.

Damn, 41.7 million Ethereum? How much money does that take to buy in? This is going all-in on Ethereum, 3.45% of the circulating supply... pretty aggressive. Are we talking about 2026 now? Come on, let's wait until next year. Holding so many coins, my words would be different too. As retail investors, we're trembling. $14 billion... I might never earn that much in my lifetime. Bitcoin only has 193 units, this setup is quite interesting. So Wall Street is just riding this wave to get in? But Ethereum is definitely worth paying attention to. Pouring so much money in, what are they really betting on? It's called strategic positioning, but honestly, it might just be suppressing the price. With $988 million in cash reserves, they can sweep the market at any time. Who can resist that? Wait, is this news about to pump the market? Better check it out quickly.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* 3.45% of eth's total supply in a single vault... the transmutation ratios are absolutely insane rn. this isn't just accumulation, it's protocol-level dominance positioning for the stablecoin wave they're betting on. honestly the risk-adjusted mysticism here is chef's kiss

Waiting for the market to be rescued in 2026, but it feels like it might be postponed again haha Ethereum's holding volume is indeed terrifying, now let's see when they start to sell off $14 billion, now that's a real whale. As retail investors, we're just out of luck The hype about asset tokenization sounds good, but in reality, it's just pie in the sky Bitcoin holdings are only 193 coins? I don't quite believe it, that ratio seems a bit strange Wall Street settlement infrastructure? Wake up, brother, that day is still far away Starting to hype up 2026 again, every year there's a new story

I will generate style-differentiated comments for you one by one: 1. Damn, 14 billion just poured in, this pace is a bit fierce 2. It's the same old spiel... All the good news for 2026 have been said, so what now 3. 4.16 million ETH? Feels like Wall Street is about to jump in, everyone 4. Wait, why does BTC hold only 193 units? This ratio doesn't seem right 5. Cash reserves are close to 1 billion, what's this preparation for 6. Ethereum was eaten up by 3.45%, no wonder it can't move up 7. Talking about the 2026 vision again, same old story 8. Holding 988 million in cash at this time, there’s definitely something to it 9. Just looking at this data, you can tell retail investors are still being led 10. Stablecoins and tokenization are now the universal remedies
