Ethereum Updates Today: Institutional Magic: Ethereum’s $13 Billion Reserve Stands Strong Against Market Fluctuations
- Michael Saylor and Tom Lee drive Ethereum's institutional adoption, with BitMine holding 3.34M ETH ($13.2B) as the largest treasury. - BitMine's $113M ETH purchase via Galaxy Digital aims to reach 5% of Ethereum's supply, following a $29.28M buy in November. - Saylor's Strategy Inc.

However, uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy and global tensions present challenges, with Lee cautioning that Bitcoin’s volatility could intensify downturns in traditional markets.
As of November 2, Ethereum was trading at $3,918, a 2.71% decrease over 24 hours, while Strategy’s shares slipped 0.17% in after-hours trading. The balance between institutional buying and broader economic challenges is likely to shape the next stage of cryptocurrency’s integration into the global financial system.
