Andrew Keys Backs ETH Growth, Supports Ethereum Developers

To celebrate Ethereum’s 10th birthday, Chairman and Co-Founder Andrew Keys shared that there was no better way to mark the occasion than by increasing their commitment to holding ETH. He added that this is just the beginning. Their goal is to keep collecting and growing ETH for the long term. “We are just getting started. Our mandate is to accumulate, compound, and support ETH for the long term – not just as a financial asset, but as the backbone of a new internet economy,” he added.

Andrew Keys also gave a personal donation of $100,000 to the Protocol Guild, a group that helps Ethereum’s main developers and contributors. This group has already shared millions of dollars with more than 150 long-term researchers, builders, and team members who work on Ethereum’s core system. Keys said that Ethereum wouldn’t be here without the hard work of its main developers. He said the donation is a way to honor those who maintain the protocol and to celebrate everything Ethereum has achieved in the past ten years.

Ether Machine Tops ETH Holdings, Plans Nasdaq Listing

This move has now placed The Ether Machine’s total ETH holdings above those of the Ethereum Foundation, which currently holds around 234,000 ETH, based on data from StrategicETHReserve. Bitmine, led by Tom Lee, and SharpLink Gaming, led by Joe Lubin, are currently the two biggest corporate holders of Ethereum.

The Ether Reserve and Nasdaq-listed Dynamix Corp set up The Ether Machine earlier this year through a business deal. The companies are still working on the deal and expect to finish it in the fourth quarter of this year. Once the deal is done, the company plans to list on Nasdaq with the symbol ETHM. It also hopes to raise $1.6 billion after going public. 

At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $3,866, reflecting a 1% increase in the past 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez said that as long as Ethereum holds above the $3,300 support level, it could be on the way to $4,220 and even $5,140, based on the MVRV Pricing Bands.
