In addition, the surge in commodity and precious metal prices in 2025 also bodes well for the price trend of crypto assets in 2026—cryptocurrencies are often correlated with metal prices.""In the last week of 2025, overall stock market and crypto market activities slowed down, but we increased our ETH holdings by 32,977 ETH within a week," Lee further noted, "Our analysis shows that compared to other Ethereum digital asset reserve institutions, Bitmine is accumulating ETH at a faster pace. We remain the world's largest 'new capital' buyer of ETH."
