What happened

Well supportedReported by 19 independent outlets

BitMine Immersion Technologies, which holds a substantial treasury of Ethereum, announced it will stop purchasing Ether once it reaches a 5% ownership ceiling. Chairman Thomas Lee shared this limit during a conference in Singapore. Following the announcement, Ether’s price declined about 5%, and BitMine’s shares fell 6%.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

BitMine Immersion is noted as one of the largest corporate buyers of Ethereum. The company’s stock acts as a leveraged proxy for Ethereum’s price movements. The self-imposed cap means the market loses a major source of demand once BitMine stops its buying spree.
