Staking stays pinned near record highs and corporate treasuries keep stacking the altcoin. BitMine Immersion Technologies now holds close to 5% of supply, most of it already staked, with holdings climbing to 5,815,164 tokens. Meanwhile Ethereum jumped nearly 20% in a single day, breaking above $2,300 for the first time since May ✨
This surge rides a blend of firmer US crypto policy vibes and aggressive buying pressure. President Donald Trump chatted with executives from Coinbase, Ripple, Gemini and other key players at the White House on Wednesday, focusing on the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, Bitcoin and broader crypto growth inside the US 🌙
Trump pushed Congress for a “fair version” of CLARITY, claiming the bill could keep the US ahead of China while noting talks around purchasing sizable amounts of Bitcoin and other crypto assets 💀
