According to @EricBalchunas, crypto proxy stock Bitmine Immersion (BMNR) has surged over 3,000% in under a week after announcing a plan to raise $250 million to acquire Ether (ETH), a strategy that attracted institutional investors like Founders Fund and Pantera. The report cautions traders by highlighting the cautionary tale of Sharplink Gaming (SBET), a similar ETH treasury play that collapsed over 90% after an initial 4,000% spike. While this speculative rally unfolds, the broader market is seeing continued institutional adoption, with JPMorgan filing for a crypto platform and MicroStrategy purchasing another 10,100 BTC. Analysts cited in the report, like Valentin Fournier from BRN, suggest a structural shift where institutions are dominating demand and that Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to lead gains, making the risk/reward asymmetry favorable for staying invested despite a temporary pause in market momentum.
