Institutional demand continues to drive Ethereum’s momentum. According to Kyle Reidhead, co-founder of Milk Road, ten crypto investment firms have collectively purchased over 550,000 ETH — worth approximately $1.65 billion — in the past 30 days, with buying activity accelerating.

The standout player is SharpLink Gaming (NASDAQ: SBET), which:

Has acquired 75,000+ ETH in the past five days (~$225 million)
Now holds over 290,000 ETH, making it the largest corporate ETH holder globally
Surpasses the Ethereum Foundation, which holds around 51,200 ETH

On Tuesday, SharpLink’s stock surged 21%, closing at $28.97, as ETH’s rally boosted investor sentiment. With Ethereum’s price strength and SharpLink’s aggressive treasury strategy, analysts expect further upside for SBET.
