Bitmine increased its holdings by approximately 73,200 ETH last week, bringing the total holdings to 5.28 million

According to PR Newswire, the US-listed company Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) announced that its ETH holdings have increased to 5.28 million coins, with a total value of approximately $12.6 billion, accounting for 4.37% of the current total supply of 120.7 million ETH, and it has completed about 87% of its goal to "hold 5% of the ETH supply."The announcement shows that Bitmine currently has 4.7129 million ETH staked, valued at approximately $10.3 billion based on an ETH price of $2,191. In addition to ETH, the company also holds approximately $685 million in cash and other crypto assets, and disclosed that it holds about $83 million in shares of the Nasdaq-listed company Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), making it one of the few publicly traded companies that can indirectly provide investors with exposure to OpenAI.Bitmine stated that Ethereum continues to benefit from two major trends: "Wall Street asset tokenization" and the growing demand for open, neutral public blockchains driven by AI systems. The company also mentioned that its MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network) is an Ethereum staking platform aimed at institutional investors, focusing on security, yield, and network resilience.In terms of market performance, Bitmine stated that BMNR has currently become the 133rd ranked stock by trading volume in the US, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $857 million over the past five days. The company has also received support from institutions and investors such as ARK founder Cathie Wood, Founders Fund, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital, and Tom Lee.

Standard Chartered Bank: It is expected that by the end of 2028, the scale of on-chain tokenized assets will reach $4 trillion, with DeFi protocols being the biggest beneficiaries

According to The Block, Geoffrey Kendrick, the global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that the total scale of on-chain tokenized assets is expected to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA) each accounting for $2 trillion. Standard Chartered believes that DeFi protocols with mature risk control systems and scalability will be the main beneficiaries of this trend, while the advancement of the U.S. Clarity Act may become an important catalyst for accelerating the on-chain transition of traditional finance.Kendrick pointed out that the core advantage of DeFi lies in "composability." In an on-chain environment, the same asset can simultaneously earn yields, serve as collateral, and maintain liquidity, which the traditional financial system cannot achieve with similar efficiency. He stated that this structural advantage means "1+1=3." Standard Chartered cited BlackRock's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund BUIDL as an example, noting that the product not only yields about 4% from U.S. Treasuries but can also be converted into sBUIDL for use in lending protocol collateral and serves as a reserve asset for products like Ethena USDtb and Ondo OUSG.The report also noted that the current scale of off-chain assets is still about 1,000 times that of on-chain assets, and the tokenization of institutional-grade assets may become the core source of growth for the next phase of the industry. Regarding institutional adoption, Standard Chartered mentioned that Aave's asset scale once matched that of the 38th largest bank in the U.S., and the current daily trading volume of on-chain stablecoin lending has reached $1.5 billion to $2 billion.At the same time, the Bitcoin lending product developed in collaboration between Coinbase and Morpho currently has a loan scale of about $1.75 billion, covering approximately 22,000 borrowers, indicating that traditional financial institutions are gradually using DeFi as underlying infrastructure.
