Ethereum Treasury Protocol ‘ETH Strategy’ Lands Whopping $46M Funding – DeFi’s Next Power Move?
Money talks—especially when it’s $46 million whispering sweet nothings to Ethereum’s treasury protocol. Meet ‘ETH Strategy,’ the DeFi project turning institutional heads (and wallets) in 2025.
Why This Matters
Forget ‘slow and steady’—this raise screams confidence in Ethereum’s post-Merge infrastructure. The protocol’s pitching itself as the BlackRock of on-chain treasuries, minus the 2am existential dread over management fees.
The Fine Print
No VC names dropped yet—typical crypto opaqueness—but that $46M figure suggests whales are circling. Whether that’s smart money or just dumb liquidity chasing the next APY mirage? Your call.
Bottom Line
Another nine-figure bet that DeFi’s institutionalization isn’t an ‘if’ but a ‘when.’ Now if only they could fix gas fees before the next bull run.
Funds Allocation and Launch Plans
The protocol revealed that 11,817 ETH will be used for protocol operations, including ETH staking and liquidity provisions, following the plan. The other 525 ETH shall be used to fund development, security audits, team compensation, and community-driven initiatives.
Moreover, the STRAT token is scheduled to launch at 9:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday. The team said liquidity would be added to Uniswap v4 using a single-sided pool with an ATM mechanism designed to stabilize earnings per share (EPS).
The project aims to provide Leveraged exposure to Ethereum without the usual risks tied to margin liquidations or volatility decay. ETH Strategy plans to achieve this by issuing protocol-convertible debt through a bonding mechanism and combining it with at-the-market offerings.
Market Context and Investor Moves
Meanwhile, blockchain firm BTCS Inc increased its ethereum holdings with a 14,240 ETH purchase, pushing its total to 70,028 ETH worth $271 million. Besides, blockchain tracker LookOnChain reported that a wallet linked to HashKey Capital deposited 12,000 ETH, worth $47.18 million, into a centralized exchange.
