Ethereum Titans Unite for Billion-Dollar Push Into Corporate Crypto Holdings

A circle of influential Asian crypto veterans is reportedly preparing a bold $1 billion push to establish one of the largest Ethereum-based digital asset treasuries to date.
Sources cited by Bloomberg say the group intends to acquire a Nasdaq-listed company as the vehicle for the project.
The initiative unites several of Asia’s earliest Ethereum champions – including Huobi’s founder Li Lin, Shen Bo of Fenbushi Capital, Xiao Feng of HashKey Group, and Cai Wensheng, the entrepreneur behind Meitu. Together, they aim to consolidate regional capital and institutional expertise into a single onchain investment platform.
Avenir Capital, chaired by Li Lin, has already pledged about $200 million, with additional commitments expected from major backers like HongShan Capital Group. The move reflects growing confidence among Asian investors that Ethereum’s ecosystem is becoming central to the next phase of digital finance.
All four figures have long histories tied to Ethereum’s rise. Fenbushi Capital was among the blockchain sector’s earliest venture firms and once counted Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin among its partners. More recently, HashKey and Buterin launched the Ethereum Applications Guild, designed to support new decentralized applications.
Cai Wensheng, whose company Meitu was among the first Chinese tech firms to publicly hold crypto, is also known for his early accumulation of Bitcoin and strong advocacy for digital assets.
Although Bitcoin dominates the global corporate treasury landscape, the focus on Ethereum signals a broader shift. In Asia – where institutional digital asset treasuries remain rare – companies like BitMine and SharpLink have recently shown growing interest in Ethereum-backed reserves.
If successful, this plan could position the group as a key force in shaping how Asia approaches large-scale onchain wealth management – blending corporate strategy with the ethos of decentralized finance.

Will Ethereum reach $10,000, Solana hit $1,000, and DTX Exchange surge to $1.50? Dive into expert crypto price forecasts and market trends for the next breakout.
Ethereum has reclaimed the spotlight, surging past $3,285 for the first time since January amid a powerful rebound in both price and network engagement.
The rollercoaster of crypto speculation was on full display this week after one of the market’s most closely watched traders saw a fortune evaporate almost overnight.
A major shift is underway in crypto markets as Ethereum begins to outpace Bitcoin in both price performance and trading activity.
In August, the total unfiltered transaction volume on the Ethereum network hit a record $1.46 trillion, with stablecoins playing a key role in this surge.
Nearly $6 billion in Korean retail funds are now tied up in “Ethereum treasuries”, companies accumulating ETH as part of a strategy modeled after MicroStrategy’s famous Bitcoin playbook, according to industry veteran Samson Mow.
Ethereum treasury companies are becoming increasingly appealing investment vehicles - even more so than U.S.-listed spot Ethereum ETFs - according to Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered.
The crypto world is facing another crisis with a sharp increase in criminal activities. Recently, Indian crypto exchange WazirX was hacked, resulting in a loss of $230 million.
On this day ten years ago—July 30, 2015—a revolutionary chapter in blockchain history began.
An anonymous Ethereum user recently paid an enormous transaction fee of 288 ETH, valued at over $700,000, according to blockchain tracker Whale Alert.
A significant portion of Ethereum validators are backing a proposal to nearly double the network’s block gas limit—an adjustment that could boost Layer 1 throughput without requiring a protocol upgrade.
A shift is underway in Ethereum’s network dynamics as a growing number of validators signal approval for raising the gas limit, which governs how many transactions can fit into a single block.
A prominent market signal has just appeared on the Ethereum vs Bitcoin (ETH/BTC) chart, and traders are taking notice.
Ethereum wallet adoption is accelerating, outpacing Bitcoin in growth due to its broader functionality beyond just holding cryptocurrency.
An inactive Ethereum (ETH) wallet dating back to 2016 has stirred to life, leaving traders on edge.
A large Ethereum holder has liquidated over 10,000 ETH in a move that puzzled on-chain analysts, locking in a $2 million loss even as Ethereum continues to post impressive monthly gains.
An Ethereum whale recently experienced a significant loss of nearly $4 million after purchasing 8,825 ETH shortly before the market took a downturn, according to data from the crypto tracking platform Lookonchain.
September brought surprising gains for the crypto market, with Ethereum rising above $2,600.
