That lack of transparency set off alarm bells.<\/p>\n<p>Investors want to know who did the math and whether the data holds up under scrutiny. When price targets are presented without clear attribution, doubt grows fast.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate Ethereum Bets On The Rise<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other firms are also loading up on Ether. SharpLink Gaming controls 438,000 ETH. Bit Digital holds over 100,000 ETH. Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions recently boosted its stake to 29,122 ETH after raising $62\u202fmillion.<\/p>\n<p>Finality Capital\u2019s partner David Grider compared the trend to Strategy\u2019s big bet on Bitcoin\u2014saying these moves should help ETH flows and price action.
