- Strategic Investment: The firm recently increased its ETH holdings by $1.4 billion, targeting 5% of the circulating supply, with projected annual staking rewards of $374 million, reflecting its confidence in Ethereum's future growth potential.
- Positive Market Outlook: Chairman Tom Lee forecasts a supercycle for Ethereum in 2026, driven by the Fusaka upgrade, rate cuts, and tokenized funds, with an expected $20 billion inflow, further solidifying its market position.
