According to the latest statistics, institutional investors are significantly increasing their holdings in Ethereum, demonstrating strong confidence in this crypto asset. As of September 9, 71 listed companies and institutions have publicly held ETH, with total open interest reaching 4.91 million coins, accounting for approximately 4.06% of the total circulating supply of Ethereum, valued at around $21.04 billion based on current market prices.

This trend reflects the positive attitude of institutional investors towards Ethereum. Among them, Bitmine Immersion Tech ranks first with a holdings of 2.07 million ETH, valued at nearly $8.87 billion. It is noteworthy that the company has increased its holdings by as much as 148.4% in the past 30 days, demonstrating a strong willingness to allocate.

Following closely is SharpLink Gaming, holding 837,000 ETH, with a recent increase of 60.4%. In third place, The Ether Machine holds 495,000 ETH, valued at $2.12 billion, with a recent growth of 43.4%.

Interestingly, the Ethereum Foundation ranks fourth with 229,600 ETH but has recently reduced its holdings by 1.3%, sparking various market speculations. At the same time, some emerging institutions have shown a strong trend of increasing their holdings, such as FG Nexus, which ranks fourteenth. Although its open interest is relatively small, it has seen a recent increase of 656.9%.

Overall, institutional investors maintain a positive attitude towards Ethereum, showing a trend of "steady accumulation". This not only reflects the increasingly solid position of Ethereum as a core crypto asset but also indicates that traditional capital's recognition of it is continuously improving.

Institutional large holdings have reduced the market's circulating supply to some extent, which may provide long-term support for ETH prices. However, considering the high volatility of the crypto assets market, investors still need to make cautious decisions, comprehensively analyze various factors, and avoid blindly following the trend. Although institutional movements are important, they should not be the sole basis for investment decisions.
