After receiving the video, Ratlam zila panchayat CEO Shringar Shrivastava directed the mid-day meal nodal officer and additional CEO to carry out an immediate inquiry and take necessary action. Following the order, show-cause notices were issued to five individuals associated with the school and the meal preparation, directing them to respond within three days. The incident occurred on June 24. But, the video surfaced on Tuesday, and reached the district panchayat officials. In the video, students can be seen eating only sev and parmal, while a few staff members and villagers stand nearby. A voice in the background is heard saying, "Jo ho raha hai, bolte jao, record ho raha hai" (Keep talking, it's all being recorded), suggesting the video was captured by a villager to document the deviation from the prescribed meal.

Q2 2025: From Balance Sheets to Benchmarks
What looked like a rebound at first glance reflected something deeper; a change in the nature of demand. As digital assets rallied, institutional flows became more targeted, and corporate balance sheets emerged as a key driver of market structure. Bitcoin rose 29.8%, reaching a new all-time high in June, according to CoinDesk Data, but it was the nature of the buyers, not just the size of the move, that marked a turning point. With public companies increasing their BTC holdings by nearly 20%, and expanding into assets like ETH, SOL and XRP, corporate treasury adoption has entered a new phase, with the potential to reshape the asset landscape. Corporate treasuries take the lead Bitcoin's performance in Q2 was not led by retail flows or leveraged positions. Instead, capital came from corporate treasuries. Public companies added nearly 850,000 BTC to their balance sheets by quarter-end, marking a 19.6% increase. For the third consecutive quarter, corporates outpaced ETFs in net accumulation, reinforcing the shift in long-term holders. The message from listed firms was clear: bitcoin is moving from speculation to allocation. Bitcoin is no longer the only asset benefiting from this trend. Public companies now hold over $1.4 billion in altcoins. ETH accounts for the majority, but firms are increasingly looking beyond the top two. Solana has seen corporate accumulation, while TRX, XRP and even BNB are beginning to feature in strategic announcements. Nano Labs, for example, unveiled a $1 billion initiative to accumulate BNB. Meanwhile, Tridentity and are planning substantial capital raises to support XRP buys. This level of activity, previously confined to BTC, is now spreading across the broader market. ETH reclaims market share, Aave tops index rankings Ethereum, which had lagged in earlier quarters, reclaimed its footing with a 36.4% rise in Q2, CoinDesk Data shows. Flows into ETH ETFs turned positive, and have now remained so for eight consecutive weeks. Adjusted for market cap, these flows are nearly on par with BTC, marking a convergence in sentiment. The 30% uplift in ETH/BTC hinted at a strategic rebalancing, with allocators rotating back into ether. Beyond ETH, Aave delivered the strongest performance within the CoinDesk 20 Index, gaining 72% in the quarter based on CoinDesk Data, as lending activity hit all-time highs and vePENDLE collateral was added to the protocol. Institutional relevance is beginning to take shape here too. The upcoming Aave v4 upgrade, along with the Horizon initiative aimed at tokenised real-world assets, positions the protocol for greater adoption beyond crypto-native circles. Solana keeps pace, but loses spotlight Solana returned 24.3% in the quarter, according to CoinDesk Data, and retained its position as the leading chain by application-level revenue. However, it underperformed both bitcoin and ether. Despite solid fundamentals, investor flows were directed elsewhere. Capital concentrated in assets with more mature ETF infrastructure and longer-established treasury narratives. Even the launch of the REX-Osprey Solana staking ETF, which attracted $12 million on its debut trading day, was not enough to reignite momentum. That said, investor interest is still building. The recent token generation event is drawing attention from both ends of the spectrum. On one side are speculative participants, while on the other are value-driven investors assessing the project's revenue potential. Treasury activity also continues to rise, with over one million SOL now held by corporations such as SOL Strategies and DeFi Development Corp. Narrower gains, clearer signals The second quarter confirmed what the first quarter had suggested: leadership in digital assets is narrowing, and the market is rewarding clarity. The CoinDesk 20 Index rose by 22.1%, although only four constituents outperformed it: Aave, bitcoin cash, ether and bitcoin. The CoinDesk 80 declined by 0.78%, while the CDMEME Index ended the quarter up 27.8% despite a 109% spike in May (based on data from CoinDesk Indices). Outside the majors, most assets lacked consistent inflows or structural support, leaving them prone to retracements. Bitcoin and ether both saw their index weights decline by over five percentage points. This made space for assets that posted stronger returns, but it did not meaningfully change the composition of leadership. Aave and BCH still represent a small fraction of the index, reflecting the reality that outperformance alone is not enough to shift structural weightings. Liquidity and credibility remain prerequisites. Benchmarks as allocation tools As adoption broadens and corporate behaviour becomes more material to price action, benchmarks are playing a more active role in capital decisions. With more than $15 billion in cumulative trading volume since launch, the CoinDesk 20 is now both a measure of market direction and a foundation for building structured exposure. The rally in Q2 was real, but more importantly, it was orderly. Allocators are not trend-chasers. They are building frameworks. Benchmarks, indices and ETFs are at the centre of this evolution. As digital assets move from the edges of portfolios to their core, tools that bring discipline and structure become increasingly important.

Peter Thiel Reveals 9.1% Stake in Tom Lee's ETH-Focused Bitmine Immersion Technologies
Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), the ether treasury strategy firm helmed by Fundstrat's Thomas Lee, is rebounding on Wednesday on news that prominent tech investor Peter Thiel invested in the company. According to a Tuesday filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Thiel purchased 9.1% of the firm's common shares through various investment funds. BMNR shares were up 25% approaching the noon hour in the U.S., changing hands at around $48. It was a $4 stock prior to the ether pivot announced last last month. Excitement continues to grow around the growing trend of corporate ETH acquisition strategies, and it's giving a boost to ETH itself, which is up another 9% today and 23% over the past week. That compares to bitcoin's more modest 9.6% advance over the past seven days. Other ETH treasury firms also surged during Wednesday's session. Sharplink Gaming (SBET) was up 17%, while BTCS was 25% higher as it was added to the Russel Microcap in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

BTCS Joins Russell Microcap Index as Ether Treasury Firms Continue to Post Big Gains
Nasdaq-listed Blockchain Technology Consensus Solutions (BTCS) is joining the Russell Microcap Index, giving the Ethereum-focused firm greater exposure among investors who track the benchmark for smaller U.S. companies. The Maryland-based firm announced earlier this month a $100 million funding plan to acquire more ETH for its balance sheet. The firm says it runs blockchain operations like staking and block building, with a tilt toward the Ethereum ecosystem. It also develops tools such as ChainQ, an analytics platform designed to help users sift through blockchain data. Index inclusion means BTCS could appear in portfolios run by mutual funds and institutional managers who follow the Russell indexes, which are used to build funds and benchmark performance. That might translate into increased trading volume or new shareholders. BTCS shares are up more than 22% in pre-market trading, and over 100% in the past month. Several companies have over the last few weeks turned to an ether treasury reserve. In doing so, their share prices have surged, with GameSquare (GAME) being the latest example. The firm announced it scheduled a conference call to review its $100 million ether treasury strategy. Its shares are up 45% in pre-market trading, seemingly based on that announcement. SharpLink Gaming (SBET), the largest corporate holder of ETH after surpassing the Ethereum Foundation, is similarly up 16.6% in pre-market trading after rising 21.3% in yesterday's trading session. In the past 30 days it's up 122%. Ether itself is up around 20% over the past month as corporate adoption grows. Year-to-date, it's still down 5%. Bitcoin, in comparison, is up more than 25.7% so far this year.
