From a 6,000x Divide to Just 16x — The Decade Crypto Changed the Game

In 2015, the financial world looked very different. The U.S. stock market boasted a towering $24 trillion in market capitalization, while the entire cryptocurrency market was worth a mere $4 billion. The gap was almost unthinkable — about 6,000 times apart.

Today, in 2025, that chasm has narrowed dramatically. U.S. stocks have grown to $63 trillion, but cryptocurrencies have exploded to $4 trillion, bringing the difference down to just 16 times. This shift isn’t just organic growth — it’s the result of global capital pouring into digital assets. Crypto-related stocks now total $3.28 trillion in market value, Bitcoin reserves amount to $436.6 billion, Ethereum reserves stand at $12.6 billion, and 121 U.S.-listed companies are actively building crypto treasuries. The tide has turned, and a new decade has begun with crypto firmly in the spotlight.

Ethereum’s Seven-Day Surge — and the Whale Behind It

Over the past week, Ethereum reserves have seen a sharp climb, jumping from 3.17 million ETH to 3.87 million ETH — a net increase of 700,000 ETH. In lockstep, ETH’s price has surged from $3,354 to $4,176, marking a 25% rise.

At the heart of this movement is BMNR, now recognized as the largest single Ethereum reserve holder in the world. Holding a staggering 1.15 million ETH, stored in wallet [full address if known], BMNR has cemented its dominance in the Ethereum market. Its aggressive accumulation has not only made it the top ETH-holding entity globally but has also been a driving force behind #Ethereum ’s recent price momentum.
