Morning Minute: ETH Soars as BMNR Files to Buy $25B

Today's top news: Crypto majors soar led by ETH and SOL; Bitcoin breaks $120,000 Tom Lee files to raise $20B ATM for more ETH; ETH +9% to $4,700 ETHZilla stock (ATNF) pops 300% after ETH buys & Peter Thiel disclosure OKX's OKB token jumps 130% after announcing a new buyback program Coinbase introduces stablecoin fund to deepen DeFi liquidity and help protocols grow 💰 Tom Lee's BitMine Goes All-In on Ethereum You may be tired of reading about the ETH TreasuryCo race, but I'm sorry - it's the biggest story in town. And the story just entered a surprising (mega bullish) new chapter. BitMine Immersion (BMNR), led by Fundstrat's Tom Lee, has filed to boost its at-the-market stock offering from $4.5B to $24.5B, with the extra $20B earmarked entirely for Ethereum purchases. Yes that's right, $20B more for ETH purchases! The firm already holds ~1.15M ETH worth nearly $5B, about 1% of supply, and now wants to scale that to 5%. Ethereum jumped ~10% on the news, passing $4,600 and extending its ~70% YTD rally. 'I can defeat all your ETH bear arguments in one sentence. Tom Lee just filed to expand his ETH buys by $20 billion.' - Ryan Adams, Bankless 'Tom Lee wants to buy $20B worth of ETH in a single year. 5% of the total ETH supply. on pace to achieve it in 2026. 12x faster than Michael Saylor. only one of the many ETH treasuries' - ripdoteth, on X The ETH bid is infinite right now. Tom Lee and Joe Lubin are likely going to try to accumulate $20B-$30B in ETH over the coming months. For perspective, that would be the equivalent of $100B-$150B for Bitcoin. And this comes as the ETH ETFs just set their new single-day record with $1B in net inflows (again, equivalent to ~$5B in BTC net inflows). This is insatiable demand, and there isn't enough sell pressure to slow this rally down in the near term. ETH is going to ATHs, and very soon.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Rise as US Inflation Cools to 2.7% in July
The price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rose Tuesday after a widely watched inflation gauge showed that U.S. consumer prices rose less than expected in July. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 2.7% in the 12 months through July, according to a new U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report. Economists expected the index, which tracks price changes across a broad range of goods and services, to rise 2.8% year-over-year. Consumer prices rose 0.2% on a monthly basis, following a 0.3% increase in June, which represented the largest month-to-month increase to CPI since January. The price of Bitcoin ticked up to $118,000 following Tuesday's snapshot, while showing a 1.1% decrease over the past day, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Ethereum rose 3.2% to $4,300, while Solana fell 1.7% to $176, over the same period. Aspects of the report pointed to underlying price pressures. Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, rose 3.1% year-over-year, coming in slightly above economists' expectations. Core CPI also rose 0.3% in July, the largest month-to-month increase since January. Russell Price, chief economist at Ameriprise Financial, noted that the CPI report is heavily weighted toward shelter prices. While they've been providing upward pressure in recent months, they showed signs of moderating in July, he told Decrypt. "It was a good report today," he said. "I think that offers a good trajectory for inflation over the near term, even though we're likely to see a little bit of upside from tariff related influences." Tuesday's reading follows a contentious policy meeting at the Federal Reserve, in which officials decided to hold interest rates steady for a fifth straight meeting, although two board governors called for an immediate cut. This is the first time the group has been splintered since 1993. Fed Chair Powell Says Trump Policies to Blame for Lack of Rate Cuts The Fed has been reluctant to lower its benchmark rate this year, fearing that U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs could reignite price pressures for consumers. But there have been repeated calls to lower rates from the president and criticism directed at Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Lower interest rates tend to benefit risk assets like stocks and crypto, and the odds of a rate cut in September surged following a weaker-than-expected jobs report, which included downward revisions of 258,000 total jobs in May and June earlier this month. Following the inflation print, traders penciled in 82.5% chance that the Fed would lower interest rates next month. The odds have fallen slightly from an 86% chance on Monday, according to CME FedWatch. Bitcoin Holds Steady as Fed Leaves Interest Rate Intact In a speech on Friday, Fed Governor Michelle Bowman said that she voted for a rate cut at the Fed's most recent policy meeting because of 'signs of fragility' in the labor market, 'with economic growth slowing this year and signs of a less dynamic labor market becoming clear.' She also argued that the effect of tariffs on consumer price would be temporary, as the central bank tries to bring inflation back down to its 2% target. Experts think that Trump's tariffs haven't had a significant impact on inflation because of ongoing tariff exemptions with some countries and months of stockpiling goods by U.S. companies, according to Cato Institute's General Economics Vice President Scott Lincicome. Bitcoin, Ethereum Sink as Tariff Gloom Tops Rate Cut Optimism If Trump's tariffs lead to an uptick in inflation, that may start to reflect itself in the data 'sometime this fall,' as companies continue working through their stockpiles of goods, he wrote in July. And companies may have to start passing along price increases to the consumer. 'Not only are the effective tariff rates rising, with more still to come, but inventories are dwindling,' he argued. 'Many U.S. companies have announced price increases, and more are on the way.'
