Ethereum Updates Today: Ethereum Companies Increase Investments During Market Downturns Despite $2.5B in Staking Losses
- Ethereum's price slump caused $2.57B losses for staking pools Bitmine and Sharplink as their mNAV fell below 1. - ETH dropped 30% from its September peak, leaving both firms underwater with combined 4.17M ETH holdings. - Despite losses, operators continue "buy the dip" strategies, adding $300M ETH weekly amid fragile market conditions. - Broader crypto weakness and Bitcoin ETF outflows highlight systemic risks as stablecoin issues worsen liquidity.
The recent decline in Ethereum's (ETH) price has resulted in substantial losses for leading staking pool operators
This sharp drop highlights the risks associated with Ethereum treasury management, as the token has lost nearly 30% of its value since reaching $4,953 in September, according to
This volatility comes as Ethereum’s long-term outlook remains uncertain. Spot ETH ETFs saw inflows of $668.13 million in October 2025, according to
Some technical signals offer cautious optimism. Crypto.news reports that Ethereum has formed a bullish flag pattern on the weekly chart, with prices rebounding from an April low of $1,394. Still, the recent dip below key moving averages and a projected 70% correction by Sigma Capital’s Vineet Budki, as cited by Yahoo, point to ongoing turbulence.
Negative sentiment has also affected the stock market.
Despite recent setbacks, Ethereum treasury operators are sticking to their strategies. Bitmine purchased an additional $300 million in ETH during the week of November 3, according to Yahoo, while Sharplink continues to buy in smaller amounts. This strategy of buying during price dips signals their belief in Ethereum’s long-term potential, even as short-term losses mount.
Market instability is further exacerbated by broader economic trends. A general move away from risk, driven by profit-taking in high-growth tech stocks and Bitcoin’s fall below $101,000, as noted by Benzinga, has increased selling pressure on crypto-related assets. At the same time, issues like stablecoin fragmentation and poor user experience continue to hinder liquidity, Yahoo reported.
