SBET share prices are still down from their peak, but the recent recovery shows enthusiasm for ETH treasuries remains high. BitDigital, Inc. also rose to a one-month high of $2.94.

The recent announcement of corporate treasuries is still not making a dent on the market. ETH remains a speculatively traded asset, with deliberate trading against long positions, leading to a depressed market price trading within a range around $2,500. ETH traded at $2,557.21, far from the exuberance of treasury company shares. The token stalled just under $2,700, falling on selling pressure. For bullish traders, ETH was supposed to make a hike to $3,000, though for now the rallies are cut short. Ethereum has seen increased staking and on-chain activity, with growing demand for DeFi. The network is slowly regaining its activity, mostly based on stablecoin usage. USDT and USDC drive traffic on Ethereum, as part of both centralized and decentralized activity. The recent treasuries are still not buying at the scale of Strategy, which is already affecting the BTC market. However, the appearance of a new wave of altcoin treasury companies may extend the 2025 crypto rally. Companies have already announced SOL and BNB treasuries, but ETH may be a prime candidate for reserves with guaranteed staking rewards.
