Key takeaways: 

  • Around 70% of all ETH is held by just 10 addresses, but most belong to staking contracts, exchanges or funds, not individual whales.

  • Nearly half of all ETH sits in a single smart contract: the Beacon Deposit Contract that powers Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system.

  • Big institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity and listed companies now hold millions of ETH, turning Ether into a serious treasury asset.

  • ETH ownership has moved on from early adopters. Today, it’s all about the platforms and services building on top of it.

As of August 2025, onchain data shows that the top 10 Ether (ETH) holders control around 83.9 million ETH (about 70% of the total circulating supply).

So, the community has started asking: Who actually holds the majority of ETH? The answer points to protocol-level smart contracts, major exchanges, exchange-traded fund (ETF) trusts and even public companies.

This article explores the Ether rich list of 2025, from the Beacon staking contract and Coinbase’s hot wallets to BlackRock’s ETHA trust and Vitalik Buterin’s legendary holdings.

Top Ether addresses by balance

Ether’s circulating supply as of mid‑2025 stands at approximately 120.71 million ETH. Following the Pectra upgrade in May, issuance has stabilized near net zero. This provides the backdrop for understanding Ether ownership distribution.

As briefly explored, the top 10 Ether addresses hold 83.9 million ETH as of Aug. 4, 2025 (roughly 70% of the total supply). 

Looking wider, the top 200 wallets account for over 52%, holding more than 62.76 million ETH (most of these holdings are tied to staking contracts, exchange liquidity, token bridges or custodial funds). Unlike inactive Bitcoin whale addresses, these Ether whale addresses are actively used infrastructure, which reflects ETH’s ability to adequately power staking, decentralized finance (DeFi) and institutional operations.

Who owns the most Ether in 2025?

As of Aug. 4, 2025, the Beacon Deposit Contract holds approximately 65.88 million ETH, representing about 54.58% of the total circulating supply of 120.71 million ETH. 

These figures are broadly consistent with March 2025 reports, which estimated the share at around 55.6% (see figure below).

This smart contract is the entry point for Ethereum validators, each of whom must deposit at least 32 ETH to participate in securing the network.

Even after withdrawal functionality was enabled in 2023, funds aren’t instantly liquid. Validators must exit the active set, wait around 27 hours for the unbonding period and then rely on a protocol-controlled sweep to release ETH. 

This makes the Beacon contract the largest ETH holder — not a person, but the network itself. 

With slashing penalties and structured exits, it ensures validator accountability. Still, some critics argue that concentrating half the supply in a single contract introduces systemic risks in the event of coordinated exits or protocol-level bugs.

Did you know? The Wrapped Ether (WETH) smart contract also ranks as one of the largest ETH holders, currently holding over 2.26 million ETH (around 1.87% of the circulating supply).

The second-largest ETH wallets

As of Aug. 22, 2025, these exchanges and custodians rank among the largest ETH holders:

  • Coinbase: 4.93 million ETH (around 4.09% of supply)

  • Binance: 4.23 million ETH (around 3.51%)

  • Bitfinex: 3.28 million ETH (around 2.72%)

  • Base Network bridge: 1.71 million ETH (around 1.4%)

  • Robinhood: 1.66 million ETH (around 1.37%)

  • Upbit: 1.36 million ETH (around 1.13%).

These addresses represent a layer of active infrastructure where Ether is used for the purpose of backing exchange liquidity, staking derivatives like cbETH and bridging assets across chains. 

Biggest ETH wallets in 2025

As of late July 2025, BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) drove a major shift in institutional ETH ownership. With $9.74 billion in net inflows, ETHA now (August 2025) holds over 3 million ETH (about 2.5% of the total supply), making it one of the biggest ETH wallets of 2025.

Grayscale’s ETHE remains a key player, with 1.13 million ETH under management. Fidelity’s Ethereum Fund (FETH), launched in 2024, has reached $1.4 billion in inflows, while Bitwise is pivoting from Bitcoin-only exposure to ETH-based mandates with staking features.

Together, these institutions now control over 5 million ETH (4.4% of supply), thus changing the picture for ETH holding patterns. They represent a new class of DeFi millionaires who are regulated, ETF-based and staking-aware. 

Corporate Ether whale addresses

A growing number of public companies is now following a playbook similar to Strategy’s Bitcoin (BTC) plan (but with staking) to treat ETH as a treasury asset. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Bitmine Immersion Technologies (NYSE: BMNR) holds more than 776,000 ETH (around $2 billion), funded by a $250-million PIPE round.

  • SharpLink Gaming (Nasdaq: SBET) has acquired around 480,000 ($1.65 billion) since June.

  • Bit Digital (Nasdaq: BTBT) holds around 120,000 ETH, having moved from Bitcoin post-equity raise.

  • BTCS (Nasdaq: BTCS) reports around 70,028 ETH (around $275 million), funded by convertible notes.

Most of this ETH is actively staked and earns around 3%-5% APY. These firms cite Ethereum’s programmability, stablecoin ecosystem and regulatory clarity (like the GENIUS Act) as the foundation for their ETH strategies. 

This new ETH billionaire list includes not just individuals but corporate treasuries betting on Ether’s long-term value.

The ETH billionaire list

While smart contracts and institutions dominate the Ethereum rich list 2025, a few individuals still stand out as major ETH holders.

Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, is widely believed to hold between 250,000 and 280,000 ETH (around $950 million), mostly across a small number of non-custodial wallets, including the well-known VB3 address.

Rain Lõhmus, co-founder of LHV Bank, bought 250,000 ETH during the 2014 initial coin offering (ICO) but lost access to the private key. His coins remain untouched, now worth close to $900 million.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, early investors and founders of Gemini, are thought to personally control 150,000-200,000 ETH, separate from Gemini’s exchange treasury of over 360,000 ETH.

Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and head of ConsenSys, is estimated to retain approximately 500,000 ETH (around $1.2 billion), though it has never been officially confirmed.

Anthony Di Iorio, another Ethereum co-founder, reportedly holds 50,000-100,000 ETH.

Did you know? As of early 2025, Etherscan data showed over 130 million unique addresses, yet fewer than 1.3 million hold at least 1 ETH, less than 1% of the total. That single ETH puts you in rare company on the Ether rich list of 2025.

How to track Ethereum ownership distribution

Identifying the top Ether holders in 2025 relies on tools like Nansen’s Token God Mode, Dune Analytics and Etherscan. These platforms categorize wallets by behavior, linking them to exchanges, funds, smart contracts or individuals.

  • Token God Mode maps wallet clusters to known entities, tracks inflows/outflows and ranks the biggest ETH wallets in 2025. 

  • Dune dashboards use schema tables like “labels.addresses” to separate externally owned accounts (EOAs) from smart contracts and exchanges, generating insights into public Ethereum addresses and ETH holding patterns.

  • Etherscan tags wallets based on transaction history, attribution or user-submitted evidence, supporting crypto wallet transparency. Together, these sources help outline Ether ownership distribution.

However, limits remain. Reused deposit addresses can inflate figures, cold wallets may evade clustering, and privacy techniques obscure real control. Even the top 200 Ethereum addresses by balance likely include fragmented or mislabeled entities. ETH address rankings reflect a mix of certainty and statistical inference, not full visibility.

Did you know? One of the oldest untouched ETH wallets (likely from the 2014 ICO) still holds around 250,000 ETH (around 0.2% of supply) and hasn’t moved a gwei in nearly a decade.

Today’s Crypto News, August 30th – Polygon Crypto Top Indian Exchange List: Slaughtering Pigs Crypto Crime Wreck Millions https://earlybirdsinvest.com/todays-crypto-news-august-30th-polygon-crypto-top-indian-exchange-list-slaughtering-pigs-crypto-crime-wreck-millions/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/todays-crypto-news-august-30th-polygon-crypto-top-indian-exchange-list-slaughtering-pigs-crypto-crime-wreck-millions/#respond Sun, 31 Aug 2025 01:31:08 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/todays-crypto-news-august-30th-polygon-crypto-top-indian-exchange-list-slaughtering-pigs-crypto-crime-wreck-millions/

Polygon is starting the week with fresh energy as India’s leading crypto exchange Giottos offers quick tokens in INR and USDT trading pairs. The list is opening the door for even more users in the Indian market, knowing how big the Indian crypto scene is. Pol, a Polygon Crypto Token, is testing a support level of $0.38 as the market drops.

Hams around polygons are probably also due to recent government boosts. The US Department of Commerce posted GDP data on the blockchain, which was a major move.

Meanwhile, the Philippines has notarized public funds through Bayani Chain, the polygon platform. One of the Senators, Bam Aquino, is promoting the tracking of national budgets using Polygon, citing the need to prevent tampering as his reason.

These data show the cryptographic strength of the polygon, especially in regulated finance.

Today, polygon saw a 10% profit per month, and bumps were $0.25. The Jump is powered by Courtyard NFT, the number one sales figures for 24-hour sales, and has a volume of 826 million Polcrypt tokens. Bull thinks that if the $0.58 resistance level violates a potential 53% gathering would be $0.90, but that’s far from the all-time high of Polygonal Matic. Polygon’s cryptographic poll was Matic before it was rebranded as Pol.

Grayscale is another catalyst as the company decided to add polygons to its spot ETFs.

However, the Crypto market has declined significantly this week, with its total market capitalization falling from $4 trillion to $3.77 trillion after a liquidation of $900 million.

Slaughter of Pigs: The Dark Side of the Code

On the dark side of things, pig slaughter fraud wreaked havoc this week, with APAC area authorities frozen $47 million in USDT related to the fraudulent scheme. Victims have lost millions through fake romance scams and stupid crypto investments. One of the victims was a Virginia woman who ultimately lost $1.3 million.

The U.S. Department of Justice seized $225 million from the Stablecoin Investment Fraud scheme, which is part of the $5.8 billion loss projected in 2024. Scammers continue their playbooks by giving small refunds and continue to build trust before they disappear. In addition to these scams, ransomware and “wrench” attacks are also on the rise. Last year, it contributed to illegal market volumes ranging from $45 billion to $51 billion.

Crypto crime could have been immersed in a small portion of the total deal. It was recorded at around 0.14% to 0.4% of $10.6 trillion in crypto trading volume. However, as the market grows, absolute numbers still rise.

Crypto is seeing some regulatory changes that are launching new opportunities.

This could be the end of an era where the focus was solely on enforcement, a more balanced approach to cryptography.

Europe has its MICA framework and is gaining bullish momentum thanks to Japan’s recent support of crypto. These changes are made at perfect timing as Crypto funds surged to $1.8 billion in August alone.

Did Bitpanda snub the UK list on liquidity issues? https://earlybirdsinvest.com/did-bitpanda-snub-the-uk-list-on-liquidity-issues/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/did-bitpanda-snub-the-uk-list-on-liquidity-issues/#respond Tue, 26 Aug 2025 13:07:38 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/did-bitpanda-snub-the-uk-list-on-liquidity-issues/

Bitpanda raised collective brows in European fintech corridors by opting out of public UK listings. But why did Bitpanda snap the UK as a potential listing venue?

The Vienna-based fintech platform, backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, has found it cited low liquidity on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as the main reason for opting out of its original plan.

According to a report published by the Financial Times on August 26, 2025, Bitpanda CEO Eric Demuth said the company will instead focus on the venue of choice when either Frankfurt or New York proceeds to hold the public offering.

The timeline is not official, but London is definitely off the list.

Dems confirmed that it wasn’t just the company that shelved its London plans. According to Demuth, many companies are moving away from LSE.

He pointed out British fintech Wise and recently moved his major list to New York after a shareholder vote. British Fintech has moved primarily due to deeper capital pools and requirements for increasing market liquidity.

In addition to this, he acknowledged the London Bulls’ ongoing struggle to attract adequate trading volume and investor depth.

London’s trading scene looks dry: British IPO market plunges to the lowest point in 30 years

Given that London is struggling to maintain its position as a major IPO destination, the Bitpanda UK exit appears to be a fair business decision.

The UK IPO market plunged to the lowest point raised in the first half of 2025, from just £160 million to £162.8 million (2267.8m).

The funding environment remains weak even after considering secondary provision.

Demuth explained that while Bitpanda recently entered the UK market, it still draws its main source of revenue from the European continent.

At the beginning of June, Carie Osman, founder and CEO of Growth Consultancy company Cruxy, repeatedly fell in LSE.

According to OSMAN, there are several reasons why companies are delisting from LSE. There are structural ones, but the main issue is lack of fluidity.

Her remarks came after Qualcomm’s acquisition of UK-based semiconductor company Alphawave Semi.

She said the UK’s weaker investment culture is hindering LSE compared to the US, where people often invest through the 401(k) plan.

On GlobalData’s Instant Insights Podcast, she said: “I was looking at some facts. I thought it was very interesting in the UK, for example, that about 23% of adults have stocks and stakes. If you compare that to the US, it’s 62%.”

Bitpanda UK’s departure reflects broader industry trends

Bitpanda SideSteping UK shows a wide range of industry trends where businesses are moving to greener pastures in search of greater liquidity, regulatory clarity and investor depth.

The US and continental Europe have emerged as public hotspots due to the receptive regulatory environment and institutional interest.

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ have become magnets for native crypto companies due to friendly policies and institutional capital inflows under the Trump administration.

Earlier this year, USDC Stablecoin publisher Circle raised $1.05 billion in NYSE at a $8 billion valuation. Gemini and Bitgo follow suit to list them in the US. Meanwhile, this month is another Tiel support exchange that was released on the NYSE.

The contrast with the LSE is severe. The UK aims to lead fintechs, but the IPO market continues to struggle with thin trading volumes and low investor appetite, raising questions about the viability of high-growth tech companies.

Unusable coins have proven useful. Jump 52% after Binance list https://earlybirdsinvest.com/unusable-coins-have-proven-useful-jump-52-after-binance-list/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/unusable-coins-have-proven-useful-jump-52-after-binance-list/#respond Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:13:36 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/unusable-coins-have-proven-useful-jump-52-after-binance-list/

Reports say the useless coins have skyrocketed 52% in one day after becoming the first Memecoin from Letsbonkfun.

The price rose from $0.19 to $0.33 during the first burst, with data from the Coingecko show, and many traders sold overnight to the move.

Social benefits rose along the price: growth over the 30-day period was 42%, which led to nearly 9,700 new followers, Messari data shows.

Replace fuel hype

We report that other platforms have moved quickly. Kraken listed the tokens in the buzz, and Coinbase was useless in the list roadmap, making the tokens look like the US market.

That wider exposure seems to be attracting attention with new buyers. Some traders said that by relaxing crypto rules and exchange access, the memos are helping them gain more eyes and gain more capital.

Buyers pushed early and some benefited

Orderbook’s snapshots showed a fierce bid before Binance’s announcement, with some market watchers flagging those buyers as suspicious.

Buying an insider has been a general concern about the list, and the timing here has raised eyebrows. After its launch, the price was shot from $0.22 to $0.31, then cooled down as it made profits. By the second day, the volume of shopping/selling started to be easier, and the buy side was deeper.

Currently, the total crypto market capitalization is $3.94 trillion. Chart: TradingView

Overall activity increase by 300%

Trading activity has skyrocketed. The daily volume reached $420 million. This was more than 1.5 times the market capitalization of tokens from trade tally. Landing and shortly after that, overall activity increased by almost 300%.

In a decentralized exchange, Netflows is no longer useful at the top of the list among the top 10 coins by Netflow, even before Bonk (Bonk). X’s GEM detector data showed its uselessness as the most retained token of the platform’s top four memokines. This is a sign that the community is highly interested.

Related readings

Technical indicators showed higher volatility as the Bollinger bands expanded. The midpoint of the band is $0.27 near the previous resistance and could serve as the next support.

A resistance of about $0.33 seems to be a key pivot. A clear break that could open a pass towards $0.40. If $0.27 fails, the token could return to $0.22, the level at which the surge began. The consolidated spots and bid deltas have reached the highest levels since launch.

I found a list of 25 English words (not my native language) on a white paper in my mother’s house. I won’t touch that desk for a long time, so this should be old.

I was looking for some information regarding 25 seed phrases, but there is no definitive anwser.

I found the BIP0039 dictionary, but the problem is that half of my words are not on this list.

Words like flute, salute, point, BIP0039.

I don’t know which coin it belongs. I’ve been waiting for a day to integrate the blockchain into my computer, and I’ve already tried the Bitcoin Core Wallet, but I have the seedphrase recovery option.

Are there other dictionaries where I can compare my lists? So can you guess the coins this wallet mentions too? What steps will you take to find it?

thank you very much.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Popular American-based payment company, Ripple Labs or Ripple, has made it into the headlines once again with its latest key development. The company continues to demonstrate its strong presence in the broader financial sector, reaching several significant milestones.

Top 2025 Fintech Honors Go To Ripple

Fintech is flourishing, and Ripple, a technology company, is at the forefront of this renewed wave. In a recent report, it was revealed that the firm has received official recognition as one of the top fintech companies in the world.

The 2025 survey, which includes fintechs both big and small across seven different market segments, was carried out by CBNC and Statista. Ripple’s appearance among the 2025 top fintech companies marks a major milestone in its evolution from a blockchain-based payment network to a global financial technology leader.

Furthermore, this distinguished award emphasizes the firm’s ongoing innovation in enterprise blockchain adoption, cross-border payments, and its expanding impact on the direction of digital finance. The payment company has taken to the social media platform X to celebrate this notable achievement and landmark. 

According to the report, this milestone marks the third consecutive year for the firm as one of the world’s top fintech companies. “We’re honored to be named one of CBNC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies for the third year in a row,” the company stated.

Thus far, the company has expressed its appreciation for this recognition. Ripple stated that this milestone demonstrates our continued dedication to creating the Internet of Value and revolutionizing global financial transactions.

A Shift Into The Banking Sector

It is worth noting that this significant milestone comes as the firm takes a step forward into the banking landscape. “True to our long-standing compliance roots, Ripple is applying for a national bank charter from the OCC,” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated

According to the CEO, if authorized, the payment company would have federal and state oversight (through NYDFS), which would set a new and distinct standard for confidence in the stablecoin market. His statement follows the team application for a national bank license, joining the swarm of cryptocurrency businesses attempting to bridge the gap into traditional finance.

In addition, the firm has applied for a Fed Master account through Standard Custody, while banks are leaning in, and Congress is moving toward clear rules and regulations. Garlinghouse highlighted that this access would give the team the ability to hold RLUSD reserves with the Federal Reserve (Fed) directly, and add another degree of protection to RLUSD’s future proof of trust.

The CEO concluded by saying that building reliable, secure, and tried-and-true infrastructure has always been a priority for the company. “In a $250B+ market, RLUSD stands out for putting regulation first, setting the standard that institutions expect,” he added.

Banking Giant Goldman Sachs Adds One Asset to ‘Conviction Buy’ List After Raising Price Target: Report https://earlybirdsinvest.com/banking-giant-goldman-sachs-adds-one-asset-to-conviction-buy-list-after-raising-price-target-report/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/banking-giant-goldman-sachs-adds-one-asset-to-conviction-buy-list-after-raising-price-target-report/#respond Sun, 29 Jun 2025 09:25:11 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/banking-giant-goldman-sachs-adds-one-asset-to-conviction-buy-list-after-raising-price-target-report/

US banking titan Goldman Sachs is reportedly highlighting its bullishness on one under-the-radar artificial intelligence (AI) stock that’s up over 68% since March.

Goldman has put Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TWSC:2330) on its “Conviction Buy” list after already being on its buy list, Insider Monkey reports.

TSMC is Taiwan’s largest company, and shares of TSMC are often considered a “pure play” on semiconductors as the firm manufactures chips for some of the world’s biggest tech firms, including Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm.

Goldman says it is raising its price target on TSMC based on cooling concerns about large AI-chip order cuts and increasing demand for the company’s CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate with silicon interposer) tech designed to power ultra-high-performance computing for AI and other applications.

The bank also believes that more smartphone, server and networking customers of TSMC will start adopting CoWoS tech.

Goldman is projecting the company’s dollar revenue to grow by 29% this year and 17% in 2026.

The firm has upped its price target for TSM to NT$1,210 from NT$1,145.

At time of writing, TSMC is trading at NT$1,080. Reaching Goldman’s price target suggests a 12% rally from current prices.

Thailand Eyes Bold Crypto Overhaul: Exchanges May Soon List Their Own Tokens https://earlybirdsinvest.com/thailand-eyes-bold-crypto-overhaul-exchanges-may-soon-list-their-own-tokens/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/thailand-eyes-bold-crypto-overhaul-exchanges-may-soon-list-their-own-tokens/#respond Sat, 21 Jun 2025 04:19:01 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/thailand-eyes-bold-crypto-overhaul-exchanges-may-soon-list-their-own-tokens/

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Thailand’s financial regulators are seeking public feedback on proposed updates to the framework governing crypto asset listings on local digital exchanges.

The move, announced Friday by the country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), comes as Thailand continues to reshape its digital asset policies in response to growing market activity and broader efforts to modernize financial infrastructure.

Revised Rules Target Transparency and Market Surveillance

The proposed rule changes aim to provide crypto exchanges with flexibility while enhancing investor protection and oversight. Notably, one key proposal would allow digital asset platforms to list their own utility tokens or tokens issued by affiliated entities, a practice that is currently restricted.

The public consultation period is open until July 21, after which the SEC will determine whether to proceed with the amendments. Under the updated draft, exchanges listing crypto assets would also be required to disclose the identities of individuals directly involved with the tokens.

These disclosures must be visible to users and accessible through the exchange’s reporting system. Additionally, automated alerts would be integrated into exchange reporting to help the SEC detect suspicious activity, such as insider trading or market manipulation.

If the new rules are enacted, any token currently listed on local platforms would be subject to a retroactive disclosure requirement, mandating exchanges to identify connected parties within 90 days of the rule’s implementation.

This regulatory approach is reportedly seeking to enhance transparency and reduce risks associated with information asymmetry between developers, exchanges, and investors.

Thailand’s Broader Push Toward Crypto Integration

Thailand’s crypto policy developments are part of a broader strategy to position the country as a competitive digital finance hub. Earlier this month, the Thai government approved a five-year tax exemption for income earned from cryptocurrency trading.

The exemption is designed to promote innovation, attract foreign capital, and give local startups more room to scale. Deputy Finance Minister Julapun Amornvivat stated that the government is accelerating efforts to integrate digital assets into the national economy.

This aligns with Thailand’s plan to issue approximately $150 million worth of digital investment tokens this summer. These instruments are aimed at offering more competitive returns than traditional savings accounts and could mark the beginning of more institutional-grade tokenized finance offerings in the region.

The consultation on token listing rules comes as countries across Southeast Asia take varying approaches to crypto regulation. While some jurisdictions have implemented stricter frameworks in response to market volatility and high-profile collapses, Thailand appears to be pursuing a more adaptive strategy focused on risk management and economic opportunity.
