Tincorp Completes Sale of Skukum Gold Project to Blue Jay Gold
September 30, 2025 1:46 AM EDT | Source: Tincorp Metals Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 30, 2025) - Tincorp Metals Inc. (TSXV: TIN) (OTCQB: TINFF) ("Tincorp" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced sale (the "Transaction") of Tincorp's wholly owned subsidiary, Whitehorse Gold (Yukon) Corp. ("Whitehorse Gold") to Blue Jay Gold Corp. ("Blue Jay"), a private reporting issuer recently spun out of Riverside Resources Inc. The Transaction closed on September 29, 2025. Whitehorse Gold holds a 100% interest in the Skukum Gold Project (the "Project") located in Yukon, Canada.
Under the terms of the share purchase agreement between the parties (the "Agreement"), the total consideration payable by Blue Jay for the acquisition of the shares of Whitehorse Gold was structured as two payments: (i) at closing, Blue Jay issued 500,000 common shares of Blue Jay and 250,000 common share purchase warrants (each, a "Warrant"), having an aggregate value of $300,000; and (ii) $275,000, payable in cash and/or shares at Blue Jay's election, is to be paid to Tincorp on the first anniversary of the closing date. Each Warrant entitles the Company to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.90 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance, subject to certain acceleration provisions. A $25,000 cash deposit previously advanced by Blue Jay upon execution of the letter of intent has been credited towards the total purchase price. Blue Jay has also assumed the security demand obligations related to the Project (the "Security Demand").
In addition, Blue Jay has agreed to pay an incentive payment comprised of $5 per ounce of gold equivalent ("AuEq") in excess of a cumulative total of 2 million ounces AuEq identified on the Project within 5 years of the closing date of the Transaction, as determined based on an updated technical report to be prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects by Blue Jay. The incentive amount payable by Blue Jay will be paid in cash and/or shares at Blue Jay's discretion within 90 days of the 5 -year anniversary of the closing date and is subject to adjustment based on remediation expenditures incurred by Blue Jay in excess of the amount of the Security Demand.
"The closing of this deal marks a significant step in Tincorp's continued shift toward pursuing new growth opportunities," said Victor Feng, Interim CEO of Tincorp. "We are pleased that the Skukum Gold Project is in the hands of a company committed to advancing exploration in the Yukon responsibly. This transaction also gives Tincorp the ability to participate in any future success at Skukum through our prospective equity position in Blue Jay, which is expanding its portfolio of gold projects in Ontario and now the Yukon."

UBS says government capital proposals would weaken bank and Swiss economy
A UBS logo is pictured on the branch of the Swiss bank in Lucerne, Switzerland, June 14, 2024. REUTERS/Denis Balibouse Purchase Licensing Rights, opens new tab
CompaniesZURICH, Sept 30 (Reuters) - UBS
(UBSG.S), opens new tab on Tuesday said government proposals for Switzerland's biggest bank to hold more capital would weaken the bank, the Swiss financial sector and the country's economy.
The bank said it supported the Swiss government's aims of learning lessons from the Credit Suisse crisis and strengthening the Swiss regulatory framework.
Sign up here.
"However, the currently proposed capital measures do not meet these criteria," UBS said in its strongly worded response to a government consultation on the measures.
As a result of the Credit Suisse takeover initiated by the authorities and the proposed adjustments, UBS would have to hold around $42 billion of additional capital, the bank said.
Instead, the measures would put "put UBS at a significant disadvantage in an international comparison, weaken the Swiss economy and the financial center, and take insufficient account of the lessons learned from the Credit Suisse crisis," the bank said.
UBS said it objected to the "extreme capital measures", which it said were neither "proportionate nor internationally aligned."
The government will examine the comments from the bank, industry bodies and political parties before deciding on how to proceed.
Under a plan to make the bank less risky, the government in June said UBS should no longer be able to count software and deferred tax assets as part of its required core capital.

Coty Announces Plans to Bolster Its Leading Position in Fragrance and Launches a Strategic Review of Its Consumer Beauty Business
Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY) (Paris: COTY) (“Coty” or “the Company”) today announced it will more closely integrate its Prestige Beauty and Mass Fragrance businesses, thereby refocusing the Company on its heritage and core strengths, to drive sustainable profitable growth and accelerate value creation. In addition, Coty has launched a comprehensive strategic review of its Consumer Beauty business to unleash its full potential.
Coty is a global leader in prestige and mass fragrance. To maximize growth prospects and synergies, Coty will initiate organizational changes to drive much closer integration and coordination between Prestige & Consumer Beauty fragrances, which account for 69% of Coty’s sales. Under this new structure, Coty will fully leverage its scale across R&D, consumer insights, manufacturing, and distribution to strengthen the Company’s revenue and profit engine.
“This next phase of our transformation is about clarity and focus,” said Sue Nabi, CEO of Coty. “By more closely integrating all our fragrance and scenting brands, we unlock the full power of our scale. The fragrance category continues to outperform the global beauty market and already drives the majority of our revenues and profits. Coty has a proven right to win at all price points of scenting, from $5 to $500, and is already making strong headway in the exciting new $7 billion mist market.”
Coty’s Prestige division will continue to steadily grow its cosmetics and skincare businesses. With an extensive IP portfolio and advanced formulations, Coty will increase its presence in these categories with strong margin potential and significant runway for global growth. Coty remains fully committed to growing its prestige portfolio through blockbuster launches and brand elevation.
Sue Nabi added: “This new structure will also drive renewed momentum and sharper focus for Consumer Beauty, positioning it to compete more effectively in the evolving beauty landscape. We have asked Gordon von Bretten, Coty Board member and former Chief Transformation Officer, to lead Consumer Beauty as President, reporting to me. Mr. von Bretten will have end-to-end responsibility for delivering the full potential of our strong brands in the mass cosmetics, mass skin, and personal care businesses. He will also lead the strategic review and join Coty’s Executive Committee.”
The strategic review will focus on Coty’s $1.2 billion revenue mass color cosmetics business, including brands such as CoverGirl, Rimmel, Sally Hansen, and Max Factor, and its distinct Brazil business comprised of local Brazilian brands that generate close to $400 million revenue. The review will assess a full range of alternatives including partnerships, divestitures, spin-offs, and other potential strategic actions, with the objective of maximizing long-term value and strengthening the balance sheet. The Company will provide updates when appropriate, including when specific actions are approved by the Board.
“We are taking decisive steps on Consumer Beauty and I am honored to lead this next phase of value creation together with Ms. Nabi,” said Mr. von Bretten. “Our agenda is clear: realize the full potential of our market-leading brands by focusing the portfolio, elevating product excellence, and driving productivity with discipline so that performance is visible in growth, margin expansion, and cash generation.”
As part of this organizational redesign, Stefano Curti, Chief Brands Officer of Consumer Beauty, and Alexis Vaganay, Chief Commercial Officer of Consumer Beauty, will step down from their roles.
Ms. Nabi added, “I wish to thank Stefano and Alexis for their contributions and commitment to our Consumer Beauty transformation over the last 5 years.”
Coty has retained Citi to advise on the comprehensive strategic review.

Focus: Eutelsat needs to close funding gap to gain ground on Starlink
SummaryCompaniesEutelsat shareholders set to approve capital increase planFrance to become biggest investor, UK retains stakeCapital injection provides temporary lifelineEutelsat eyes German investmentGDANSK/PARIS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - Satellite operator Eutelsat
(ETL.PA), opens new tab must secure investment from more European countries to bolster its efforts to challenge billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink, EU lawmakers and analysts say following a commitment by France.
The debt-laden Franco-British company has gained unprecedented attention this year from European governments as the policies of President Donald Trump have raised concern about their reliance on U.S. satellite companies.
Sign up here.
A 1.5-billion-euro ($1.8 billion) investment in Eutelsat led by France is set to be approved by shareholders on Tuesday, after which the company hopes other countries will follow suit.
President Emmanuel Macron has urged other countries and companies to invest, framing the decision as a matter of European sovereignty.
EUROPE'S AMBITION IN SPACEChristophe Grudler, a French member of the European Parliament who has urged the European Commission to find alternatives to Starlink for Ukraine as the war with Russia drags on, said Eutelsat is one of Europe's best responses to Starlink but it requires political commitment.
"France’s decision to strengthen its stake is a strong political act. But it cannot stop there. Germany, and other member states, should also step in. One country alone cannot carry this continental ambition in space," he told Reuters.
In the latest fundraising, France will commit 750 million euros for a 29.65% stake, while Britain will contribute 163 million euros to retain a 10.89% share in a two-stage investment plan.
Other investors are Indian billionaire Sunil Mittal's Bharti Space, shipping group CMA CGM (CMACG.UL), and Fonds Strategique de Participations, a French insurer-backed investment fund.
The French government is leading a 1.5-billion-euro capital increase alongside Britain and other anchor shareholders backing a European alternative to Space X's Starlink.UKRAINE TALK REVIVES EUTELSAT STOCKEutelsat - which has introduced a new CEO, chairman and a revamped brand identity - confirmed to Reuters its aim to involve more European countries, though discussions remained in early stages.
Initial talks between France and Germany took place at the Franco-German council of ministers on August 29, the company said in an emailed statement.
The German and French governments did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Shareholders involved in the current capital increase declined to comment.
Eutelsat's stock has rebounded from all-time lows on talks with the European Union to potentially replace Starlink in Ukraine.
Operational planning and coordination with member states and relevant stakeholders on Ukraine continue, Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told Reuters in an emailed response to queries.
Germany already pays for Ukraine's access to Eutelsat and Eutelsat has delivered thousands of user terminals to Kyiv.
Shares in the French satellite operator reached all-time lows years after completing its costly OneWeb merger but have recovered 47% in 2025.FRANCE GIVES VITAL LIFELINE TO EUTELSATEutelsat told Reuters that it was not directly affected by the collapse on September 8 of the French government. However, the company - which is dependent on France pledging immediate financial relief - underlined the need for stability and continuity.
Asked about the risk of political turmoil possibly delaying France's 2026 budget, Eutelsat said it would only affect the next fiscal year.
"In terms of timing, it's unlikely to be impacted by a deadlock at this stage."
The funding is expected to reduce Eutelsat's 2.6-billion-euro debt and help deploy 340 low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites for its OneWeb constellation costing over 2 billion euros.
Eutelsat acquired OneWeb in 2023 to capitalise on growing demand for satellite internet.
But the gap with Starlink is stark. OneWeb has over 650 satellites compared with Starlink's nearly 8,000. Eutelsat has downplayed Starlink's lead, maintaining it stays competitive with government and corporate customers.
Excluding the three major Chinese constellations, Starlink controls 85–90% of the communication satellites in orbitBernstein analyst Aleksander Peterc said French and UK backing has already made a significant difference but funding into the next decade will be contingent on Eutelsat's improved profitability and cash generation.
"The addition of Germany as a core shareholder would further solidify Eutelsat’s position as the prime sovereign European LEO connectivity provider," he said.
Stifel analyst Antoine Lebourgeois was more cautious, saying the capital increase was a short-term lifeline and not a long-term cure.
"Support from European governments is a crucial first step and a strong signal, but it may not be sufficient on its own to secure OneWeb's long-term viability," he said.
"Given the intense competition and economies of scale of players like Starlink, OneWeb will likely need a more substantial and sustained commitment from the public sector to truly thrive as a European alternative."

IonQ: Turning Bullish After A Disastrous Bear Call
SummaryIonQ is relying on a lot of M&A to generate revenue growth. But that's okay because the acquisition seems reasonably priced and the new CFO seems adept at M&A.Despite 30% higher costs expected, IonQ's balance sheet is in a very healthy position, as it has ample liquidity that gives it funding runway for more than 5 years.Some bearish arguments by outspoken bears that express skepticism about the future of quantum computing as a whole seem unconvincing, given strong institutional backing by mega tech companies.IonQ is cheaper than other quantum niche stocks. The relative technicals on IONQ, versus SPX500 are also clearly bullish.IONQ is highly sensitive to interest rates, but the current dovish macro environment is favorable. Overall, I have bought a small, risk-aware position with FOMO-driven upside expectations. patpitchaya/iStock via Getty Images
Performance assessment Argh! It pains me to see the performance review below. My 'Underperform'/'Sell' view on IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) has clearly been very, very offside. I think this has been one of my worst calls to date:

CompaniesSept 30 (Reuters) - ExxonMobil's
(XOM.N), opens new tab chief executive Darren Woods sought assurances from Mozambique's president Daniel Chapo last week about security for a proposed $30 billion gas terminal in the country ahead of a decision to greenlight the project, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Woods raised concerns about the dangers posed by a jihadist insurgency in Mozambique’s north-eastern Cabo Delgado region, where Exxon is planning to build Africa's largest LNG facility, the report said, citing sources with knowledge of the talks.
Sign up here.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Exxon did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment. The Mozambican presidency could not be reached immediately.
Islamic State-linked militants launched an insurgency in the northern gas-rich province of Cabo Delgado in 2017, killing thousands of civilians, destroying livelihoods and internally displacing hundreds of thousands, aid agencies say. The insurgency has disrupted multi-billion-dollar energy projects.
Woods and Chapo also discussed plans by TotalEnergies
(TTEF.PA), opens new tab to resume work on a nearby LNG facility being developed by the French oil major and lift a force majeure, the FT said.
TotalEnergies had halted work on the project and declared force majeure in 2021 after insurgents attacked the northern town of Palma, a logistics hub near the site.
"We strongly believe that the ExxonMobil project, if implemented, will make a huge difference in the economy of Mozambique and, as a consequence, in the life of Mozambicans," Chapo told the FT in an emailed statement.
An Exxon spokesperson told the FT that the company is working closely with Total, the Mozambique government and its partners in the LNG project to ensure the right conditions are met to enable a final investment decision on the development.

Visits are down at Vail Resorts. The new CEO explains what's gone wrong and his plan to get the ski giant back on track.
Visits and season pass sales have been down at Vail Resorts, the company said.

2025-09-30T04:14:53Z
Vail Resorts reported a decline in skier visits in its 2025 fiscal year.
The company said pass sales for the coming season were also down year-over-year.
CEO Rob Katz cited an outdated marketing strategy and shifting consumer behaviors as issues.
Vail Resorts may be the largest ski company in the world, but its CEO said it needs a turnaround.
The Colorado-based company reported results for Q4 and the 2025 fiscal year on Monday, during which it said total skier visits were down 3% compared to the previous year.
Season pass sales for the coming 2025-2026 ski season were also down. The company said the number of passes sold as of September 19 for the coming season was down 3% year-over-year. Sales dollars from passes were still up 1% due to a 7% price hike.
"The results from this past season were below expectations, and our season-to-date pass sales growth has been limited," said CEO Rob Katz on the earnings call, adding, "We recognize that we are not yet delivering on the full growth potential that we expect from this business."
Vail Resorts owns or operates more than 40 ski resorts around the world, including its namesake property in Colorado. Vail's Epic Pass, which comes with access to its network of resorts, started at $1,051 for the coming ski season.
"Our approach to engaging with guests has not kept pace with shifting consumer behaviors, and as a result, we have not been able to fully capitalize on our competitive advantages or adapted our execution appropriately to respond to shifting dynamics," Katz said.
Katz, who became CEO in May, outlined several areas where he thinks Vail Resorts could improve and attract more guests, including its media strategy. He said the company has historically relied on email marketing, but it has been less effective in recent years as consumer behavior has changed.
The CEO said Vail Resorts is going to modernize its marketing strategy with a greater focus on digital and social platforms, including partnering with influencers. Katz mentioned TikTok as an opportunity that the company has not previously been heavily engaged with.
He also said the company would focus more on guests' emotional connection to its properties instead of "transactional call-to-action messaging."
"We're elevating the individual brands of our resorts by tapping into the emotional connection guests have with each destination," Katz said. "This is an important differentiator in a competitive landscape."
Katz said the decline in pass sales was driven by fewer new pass holders and fewer renewals among guests who had only had a pass for one year. In contrast, he said renewals were up among longtime pass holders.
He said the company was also working on improving its lift ticket offerings, including through a program that provides pass holders with discounted day passes for their guests.
"This not only celebrates the social side of skiing and riding, but it also drives lift ticket sales for new guests that would be attracted to visiting our resorts with their friends and family," Katz said. "Importantly, the full value of the ticket can be applied towards a future pass purchase, making it a powerful tool for future pass conversion."
Vail Resorts is also adopting a more dynamic pricing strategy to optimize its lift ticket prices based on the individual resort and timing, Katz said.
Katz said some of the changes the company is implementing are long-term strategies and that he's confident Vail Resorts can return to higher growth in the 2027 fiscal year and beyond.
Shares in Vail Resorts were trading down after hours. As of market close on Monday, its stock was down 60% from its 2021 peak.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says China is 'completely dominating' Tesla, GM, and Ford in EVs
"The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry," Ford CEO Jim Farley said of Chinese automakers.

Ford CEO Jim Farley says China is dominating the global EV market.
"The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry," he said.
Farley said China's success stems from the government's support, which their automakers get to enjoy.
Ford CEO Jim Farley says there's barely any contest between Chinese and American automakers when it comes to dominating in EVs.
"The competitive reality is that the Chinese are the 700-pound gorilla in the EV industry," Farley told The Verge's "Decoder" podcast in an episode that aired Monday.
"There's no real competition from Tesla, GM, or Ford with what we've seen from China. It is completely dominating the EV landscape globally and more and more outside of China," he added.
Representatives for Farley at Ford did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Farley told guest host and journalist Joanna Stern that China's dominance in the industry stemmed from the generous government support its automakers enjoyed.
"China's successful for good reason. It has great innovation at a very low cost," Farley said.
"There's hundreds of companies, and they're all sponsored by their local governments, so they have huge subsidies. It's new brands. It's BYD and Geely, and companies like Nio and Xiaomi, many of which have never been in the car business before, and that's a big advantage for them," he added.
Farley has talked about China's lead in the EV race on multiple occasions.
In June, Farley said during a panel at the Aspen Ideas Festival that China's EV progress is the "most humbling thing" he has ever seen.
"They have far superior in-vehicle technology. Huawei and Xiaomi are in every car," Farley said. "You get in, you don't have to pair your phone. Automatically, your whole digital life is mirrored in the car."
"We are in a global competition with China, and it's not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future Ford," he added.
Farley praised Chinese tech giant Xiaomi's maiden electric vehicle, the SU7, in an episode of "The Fully Charged Podcast," which aired in October 2024.
"I don't like talking about the competition so much, but I drive the Xiaomi," Farley said.
"We flew one from Shanghai to Chicago, and I've been driving it for six months now, and I don't want to give it up," he added.
Farley isn't the only one who sees China's dominance in EVs as a byproduct of the country's lower labor costs and generous subsidies.
The Centre for Strategic & International Studies said in a report published last year that China's government has spent at least $230 billion funding local EV makers between 2009 and 2023.
"There's not something magical when you take it apart that's allowing these really impressive cost structures," RJ Scaringe, the CEO of American EV maker Rivian, told the "Everything Electric" podcast in an episode that aired in September.
"There's no secret magic thing that you're like, 'Oh, aha, they did this.' But rather it's the compounding benefits of a lower cost of capital," he added.

To ensure the success of such transformations, it is essential not only to redefine ways of working and skills based on digital and AI utilization, but also to focus on talent development and redeployment. By combining the strengths of Aidemy group and Accenture, we can support enhancing competitiveness and sustainable growth by maximizing the potential of our clients’ workforces. Additionally, we aim to fundamentally transform the way learning is conducted and contribute to building a foundation that supports the growth of society as a whole."
Akihiko Ishikawa, President, Aidemy said: "Aidemy group has over its history provided end-to-end support across the AI and DX domains in fields ranging from education to development and implementation, thereby helping to drive corporate transformation. We are confident that joining Accenture will enable us to further expand our expertise in talent development and our technical capabilities for AI system development. In particular, we will strengthen reskilling which can be utilized in on-the-job activities and provide support for organizational adoption, which in turn will accelerate companies’ processes for incorporating AI, generative AI, and other advanced technologies into their businesses. Under our mission, 'Bringing advanced technology into the economy,' we will accelerate efforts to strengthen the competitiveness and talent development of leading companies in Japan and around the world, and contribute to the digitalization of society."
According to a survey by the World Economic Forum, on average, workers can expect that two-fifths (39%) of their existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated over the 2025-2030 period1. This makes continuous investment in talent development essential for companies to maintain their competitiveness. In this context, Accenture announced in March 2024 a US$1 billion investment over three years to establish LearnVantage, a comprehensive service which supports talent strategies, reskilling and upskilling for clients around the globe. To strengthen this offering, Accenture has made a series of acquisitions including Udacity, Award Solutions, TalentSprint and Ascendient Learning.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) ("Bit Digital" or the "Company") today announced the pricing of its upsized underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of $135,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "Notes"). The sale of the Notes is expected to close on October 2, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company also granted the underwriters in the Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes on the same terms and conditions, solely to cover over-allotments.
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The Notes will mature on October 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver to such converting holders, as the case may be, cash, ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "ordinary shares") or a combination of cash and ordinary shares, at its election. The initial conversion rate will be 240.3846 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of $4.16 per ordinary share and represents a conversion premium of 30% above the last reported sale price of the ordinary shares on September 29 2025, which was $3.20), subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Valneva Reports 95% Seroresponse Four Years After Single Shot of Chikungunya Vaccine IXCHIQ®
Long-lasting antibody persistence was comparable in older (65+) and younger adultsLong-term antibody persistence is a key competitive advantage for a vaccine targeting unpredictable outbreak diseases like chikungunya
Saint-Herblain (France), September 30, 2025 – Valneva SE (Nasdaq: VALN; Euronext Paris: VLA), a specialty vaccine company, today reported positive antibody persistence data four years after vaccination with a single dose of its chikungunya vaccine IXCHIQ®. The results are in line with Valneva’s expectations for this vaccine, confirming a strong and long-lasting antibody persistence across all age groups investigated. The four-year persistence data are in line with previous persistence data1, 2,3, further highlighting a key advantage of the vaccine.
Among the 254 healthy adults still followed in the trial, 95% maintained neutralizing antibody titers well above the seroresponse threshold4 four years after the single-dose vaccination. Persistence of antibodies in older adults (age 65+) was comparable to younger adults (18-64 years of age) in terms of geometric mean titers (GMTs) and seroresponse rates (SRRs).
Trial VLA1553-303, which has received funding support from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the European Union’s (EU) Horizon Europe program, also collected long-term safety data up to two years, including Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) from the preceding trial and any new-onset Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). No safety concerns were reported or identified and no AESI were ongoing at the time of participant enrollment in the trial. Per trial protocol, antibody persistence is planned to be collected up to ten years after vaccination.
Juan Carlos Jaramillo M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Valneva, said, “We are very encouraged by these four-year data, which further reinforce IXCHIQ®'s unique profile and its ability to generate a robust, durable antibody response in both younger and older adults with just a single dose. Whether you are a traveler, live in an endemic area, or face an outbreak situation, the prospect of long-term protection from a mosquito-borne disease with a single vaccination is highly valuable, especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries ((LMICs) where vaccine access is often limited.”
Valneva is focused on expanding the vaccine’s access. The Company expanded its partnership with CEPI in 20245 to support broader access to the vaccine in LMICs and, within the framework of this agreement, announced an exclusive license agreement with the Serum Institute of India (SII) to enable supply of the vaccine in Asia6.
About Chikungunya
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne viral disease spread by the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes which causes fever, severe joint and muscle pain, headache, nausea, fatigue and rash. Joint pain is often debilitating and can persist for weeks to years.7
In 2004, the disease began to spread quickly, causing large-scale outbreaks around the world. Since the re-emergence of the virus, CHIKV has now been identified in over 110 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.8 Between 2013 and 2023, more than 3.7 million cases were reported in the Americas9 and the economic impact is considered to be significant. The medical and economic burden is expected to grow with climate change as the mosquito vectors that transmit the disease continue to spread geographically. As such, the World Health Organization (WHO) has highlighted chikungunya as a major public health problem.10
About Valneva SE
We are a specialty vaccine company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes prophylactic vaccines for infectious diseases addressing unmet medical needs. We take a highly specialized and targeted approach, applying our deep expertise across multiple vaccine modalities, focused on providing either first-, best- or only-in-class vaccine solutions.
We have a strong track record, having advanced multiple vaccines from early R&D to approvals, and currently market three proprietary travel vaccines.

Data show Roche's sixth-generation Troponin T test offers a new level of accuracy critical for diagnosing heart attacks
Recently granted CE Mark, the novel test delivers improved sensitivity and accuracy for faster and more reliable diagnosis in emergencies.The test helps clinicians quickly identify heart attack and rule out non-cardiac causes, ensuring patients receive the care they need at the earliest opportunity.The global TSIX clinical study involved more than 13,000 participants, validating performance across a diverse population that reflects real-world healthcare settings.1,2 Basel, 30 September 2025 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced the primary results from the TSIX Study Program, which evaluated the performance of its new sixth-generation high-sensitivity Troponin T test for diagnosing heart attacks. Presented at the European Society for Emergency Medicine (EUSEM) 20252 and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 20251, the study results showed that the Elecsys® Troponin T hs Gen 6 test was able to identify acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or heart attack, and identify those not having an AMI, with a high level of precision.2,3 This supports the efficient triage of patients arriving at the emergency department, ensuring healthcare resources can be focused where they are needed most. This data announcement follows the recent CE Mark approval for the test.
As one of the top three reasons for emergency care visits,4 chest pain creates significant anxiety and uncertainty for patients whilst putting pressure on healthcare services. Yet only one in every ten patients who presents with symptoms will actually be experiencing a heart attack.5 With 49% of emergency departments in Europe reporting overcrowding on a frequent basis,6 the ability to quickly and reliably identify those patients who are suffering from AMI, and to rule out those who are not, is crucial in ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients.
"Coronary artery disease continues to place an immense strain on global health systems, particularly in emergency care, where cases of chest pain are among the most challenging presentations to evaluate,” said Matt Sause, CEO of Roche Diagnostics. “Our new test enables clinicians to detect even the smallest elevations in troponin levels – a critical biomarker for heart attack – with high confidence. This ensures that in a situation when every second counts, patients receive the life-saving care they need at the earliest opportunity, and emergency services can prioritise resources to deliver care effectively to those in urgent need."
About Roche Diagnostics’ commitment to heart health
With a 30-year legacy in troponin innovation, Roche was the first company in the world to introduce high-sensitivity troponin tests. And Roche's troponin test was the first to receive FDA approval. Building on this legacy, the novel test is the first in a series of anticipated approvals for Roche, reflecting the company's vision for the future of coronary artery disease (CAD) management. This includes a portfolio of innovative tests that enable consistent and precise biomarker measurements to be reliably compared across healthcare settings. It also includes future acute coronary syndrome (ACS) offerings that will combine next-generation digital algorithms, biomarkers, near-patient care devices, and laboratory analysers.
About the TSIX Study Program
Forming the basis for regulatory approval, the comprehensive TSIX study program recruited a total of over 13,000 individuals.1,4 It is the first global clinical study program of its kind to be performed in the use of troponin testing, involving patients in the US, China, Japan and the EU, and reflects Roche’s ambition to work towards more standardised care across the world.
The REF-TSIX study was designed to establish the standard upper reference limits (URLs) for troponin levels in the blood.1 These limits represent the highest expected concentration of troponin in a healthy population, providing the benchmarks used to diagnose myocardial infraction. The study prospectively collected plasma and serum samples from a diverse global population to ensure the assay's accuracy across different demographics and healthcare settings. Data presented at European Society of Cardiology congress 2025 showed a 99th percentile URLs of 27 ng/L for the overall population and sex-specific URLs of 18 ng/L for females and 32 ng/L for males.1 These findings confirm the test's consistency and accuracy, meeting the highest benchmarks for clinical diagnostics as recommended by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC).7
To validate the clinical performance of the newly established URLs, the prospective, international, multicenter, longitudinal cohort study PERFORM-TSIX enrolled 5,631 patients across 50 sites,2,4 presenting to emergency departments with symptoms of ACS. Up to five samples were collected at intervals after presentation at the emergency department, to provide a detailed assessment of the test's performance across time points.4
The study data demonstrated that the assay was highly effective at detecting heart attacks, meeting its primary endpoint using the universal 99th percentile URL at three hours post emergency department presentation.3 Moreover, the study data showed that 56.6% of patients were able to be discharged in the first hours after presentation with a negative predictive value of 99.7%, underlining its excellent clinical performance.2,4

ICE raids Texas Bitcoin mining site tied to Bitmain in chip export control probe
Federal agents on Monday raided the Lonestar Dream bitcoin mining site in Pyote, Texas, going straight for an ASIC repair center run by Bitmain-affiliated ADW Tech, according to a report from Blockspace.
The Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation unfolded at sunrise and zeroed in on the contractor that keeps Antminer rigs running at the 30 MW site, recently sold by Poolin.
Witnesses allegedly said the raid looked like a war scene. “Helicopters, snipers, armed men,” one source told Blockspace while describing an ICE helicopter circling above before “a cavalcade of black Tahoes arrived at the scene.”
He added agents asked “leading questions… ‘who does this, who does that.’” Multiple agencies were present: ICE, the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) all took part, according to a person on site.
Agents detain ADW Tech staff and seize documents
Law enforcement removed 12 or 13 workers, roughly half the repair shop staff, from the Pyote facility after they failed to show proper credentials. The same source said ICE targeted Chinese nationals and took everyone with expired visas.
The raid did not affect other local operators such as Genesis Digital Assets, which runs a 195 MW bitcoin mine in Pyote but was not a subject of this action.
ADW Tech is a Bitmain contractor and certified Antminer repair shop embedded within Lonestar Dream. The company’s presence highlights how West Texas has become a hub for mining, drawing big names with cheap power and wide land. Poolin’s recent sale of the site still left ADW Tech doing the repair work, and that is where federal scrutiny landed.
The action comes as Bitmain-linked repair centers in the U.S. face rising government attention. This raid connects with a longer story involving the Trump administration’s handling of mining hardware imports.
At the end of 2024, CBP began sporadically holding and seizing ASIC miner shipments at U.S. ports, sometimes keeping them for months and charging holding fees without explaining the flags.
Several shipments stayed detained into 2025 after Trump took office and only began to be released by late Q1 and early Q2.
Officials said they were looking for restricted AI chips on ASIC miners’ control boards from Sophgo, a semiconductor company that shares Bitmain CEO Micree Zhan.
The U.S. Department of Commerce is actively investigating possible sanctions violations by Sophgo, which ties directly to why these miners and repair hubs are now under heavy federal focus.

Bitcoin Redaction Fork Debate: A Clash Over Immutability and Censorship
The Bitcoin community is no stranger to heated debates, but the latest controversy around a rumored Bitcoin Redaction Fork has reignited one of the oldest philosophical battles in crypto: should Bitcoin remain an untouchable, immutable ledger, or should it adapt to external pressures to remove illicit or arbitrary data
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE is approaching the $50 mark after a 24-hour 7.7% increase to approximately $47, driven by the launch of 4,600 Hypurr NFTs on the HyperEVM. The collection launched strongly with a floor near $68,700 and about $45 million in first-day volume.
One rare piece, Hypurr #21, sold for 9,999 HYPE ($467,000), stressing strong demand among NFT traders and Hyperliquid’s early community. Most NFTs were allocated to participants from the November 2024 Genesis Event, with some allocations also made to the Hyper Foundation and core contributors.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) Trading Volume Surges
Hyperliquid’s network excitement coincides with increased derivatives activity: daily spot trading rose, futures volume increased approximately 13.9% to $1.8 billion, and open interest grew to $2.28 billion, indicating active short-term trading interest even if longer-term confidence remains cautious.
Technically, $50 is the immediate resistance to surpass; $44 serves as a strong support level. With RSI near 46, MACD negative, and Bollinger Bands tightening, traders are watching for volatility to expand, which could shape the next move.
Institutional Nods and New Infrastructure Strengthen the Narrative
Institutional chatter fuels optimism: ARK Invest’s Cathie Wood recently compared Hyperliquid’s growth to that of early Solana, placing the DEX firmly on the radar of big money. Behind the scenes, the team continues to broaden its defenses.
Hyperliquid launched permissionless spot quote assets on mainnet, with USDH (backed by cash and U.S. Treasuries) serving as the first quote. This move enables community-driven listings through Dutch auctions and introduces HYPE/USDH pairs, expanding liquidity while lowering barriers.

Launched in February 2025, the HyperEVM programmability layer connects smart contracts with the chain’s HyperBFT consensus and HyperCore liquidity, allowing developers to create lending markets, vault tokenization, and liquid staking.
Risks: Unlock Overhang, Security Alerts, Rising Competition
Tailwinds aside, investors face genuine risks. A rival perpetuals platform, Aster, briefly surpassed Hyperliquid’s weekly volume after the token launch, highlighting intense competition in the DEX space.
Security concerns arose when researcher ZachXBT reported the theft of eight Hypurr NFTs worth $400K shortly after launch, another reminder to improve wallet security. Most importantly, a pending $12B HYPE unlock threatens price discovery; additional supply might pressure prices if not absorbed by demand.
To sum this up, if HYPE exceeds $50 on high volume, bulls could target a retest of the $59 all-time high from Sept. 18 and might move into the $55–$65 range next. Falling below $44 could cause a drop into the high-$30s.

Institutional Demand and Firedancer Upgrade Fuel Solana Rally: Can SOL Hold $207 Support?
Institutional confidence in Solana (SOL) remains strong, making it one of the stable altcoins in the market. Treasury wallets now hold over 20.9 million SOL, roughly 3.64% of the total supply, indicating that large investors are increasingly viewing SOL alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as part of diversified crypto portfolios.
Companies like Forward Industries and Brera Holdings have disclosed their asset exposure, while ARK has added Solana-related equities and continues to emphasize the network’s expansion.
Meanwhile, speculation about a potential Solana staking ETF has gained momentum; if approved, it could reduce circulating supply and provide yield access, potentially attracting significant new capital into SOL. Mid-cycle analyst targets of $300–$500 reflect this institutional interest along with rising on-chain activity.

Firedancer + Alpenglow: Leap in Performance vs. Decentralization Risk
Solana’s technology roadmap provides another boost. Jump Crypto’s Firedancer client proposes SIMD-0370 to remove the fixed compute block limit, allowing higher-performance validators to process more complex blocks and increasing overall throughput.
At the same time, the Alpenglow upgrade (testnet scheduled for December) aims to drastically reduce transaction finality, from approximately 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, making Solana the fastest major chain. These changes could strengthen Solana’s leadership in high-volume DeFi and payments.
However, critics warn that increasing centralization may occur if smaller validators cannot afford the necessary hardware upgrades. The primary challenge is striking a balance between raw speed and validator diversity, which is crucial for evaluating the network’s long-term resilience.
Price Levels: Can Solana (SOL) Bulls Defend $207?
Currently, SOL hovers near $208–$210, up modestly on the day as momentum rebuilds. The market now focuses on $207 as the first support level; a sustained hold preserves the uptrend and keeps a retest of $230–$253 possible, with $257 (the 52-week high) remaining above.
Losing $207 opens the door to $190–$185 as the next demand zone, and a deeper shakeout could test $165–$167. Short-term sentiment is supported by improving tape dynamics, higher spot volumes, and active addresses, although macro factors remain a swing factor.
For traders, the constructive setup is to hold $207, reclaim $223–$230, and then challenge $253–$257. For investors, the thesis relies on three pillars: increasing treasury ownership and potential ETF catalysts, throughput leadership from Firedancer and Alpenglow, and expanding real-world utility across DeFi and commerce.
If Solana maintains support while upgrades happen as scheduled, the path toward new highs strengthens; if not, expect a choppy Q4 with value emerging around the $185 area.

Ethereum whales return to the market: Is ETH ready for $10K?
Key Takeaways
Are Ethereum whales buying more ETH right now?
Major Ethereum whales like Bitmine have bought over 252,000 ETH in three days.
What could happen to ETH price in Q4?
If historical trends repeat, ETH could post double the gains next quarter.
Ethereum [ETH] whales are making some serious noise.
ETH treasury company Bitmine just bought over 252,000 ETH in only three days, boosting its stash to a whopping $8.84 billion. And they’re not alone; other big players are stacking ETH too.
While analysts warn a short pullback could be on the cards, there’s reason to believe that this is just a prelude to something explosive.
Whales make waves with massive ETH buys
A whale just snapped up $15 million worth of ETH, and it’s not an isolated move.

Tom Lee’s Bitmine just went on a shopping spree, buying 252,441 ETH in only three days. That brings its total stash to over 2.2 million ETH, worth $8.84 billion.
Source: X
The other big story is that whale wallet 0xE37F (which sold 1,857 ETH at $2,251 just five months ago) has now re-entered. Earlier today, it grabbed 1,501 ETH for $6.17 million at $4,114 each.
Source: X
But while whales are loading up, Ethereum ETFs are showing the opposite trend.
Source: SoSoValue
The products bled heavily this week, with outflows totaling $795.56 million — the biggest weekly loss since their inception.
This sharp reversal wiped out much of the momentum built in August and early September, when inflows had pushed total net assets above $30 billion.
At the time of writing, assets under management had slipped back to $26 billion.
Can Q4 push ETH to the moon?
Ethereum has had quite the year with its ups and downs, but Q4 could bring us to the light.
Source: Coinglass
The last time ETH closed Q3 this strong, Q4 gains more than doubled, pushing prices to new highs.
Source: X
According to analyst TedPillows, ETH is in a healthy correction after rallying nearly 250% from its bottom, which is normal in big uptrends.
If the pattern holds, once this pullback is done, the next leg could take ETH comfortably above $10,000.
With seasonal data pointing to strong finishes and the price still inside its long-term rising channel, the next few months could be decisive.
Short-term outlook
Ethereum looks to be catching its breath after the drop last week. The price has managed to bounce back above $4,100, looking stable.
Source: TradingView
The RSI was just under 45, which means ETH isn’t oversold, but still has room to push higher if buying picks up. On the other hand, trading volumes remained light, so momentum isn’t strong yet.
If the bulls can defend the $4,000 level, the next move could be a steady climb. But if that floor gives way, we could see another leg down before recovery kicks in.

Whales Sell $31M in Solana as $SOL Holds $208 SMA: Can Solana Break $250 for Year-End Rally?
Solana whale sells $31.59M in $SOL, yet charts hint at bullish continuation with eyes on $250 resistance.
Izabela Anna2 min read

Image: ShutterstockSolana ($SOL) has experienced a dynamic trading session as whales aggressively adjust their positions. Today, a single whale reportedly sold $31.59 million in $SOL, highlighting significant profit-taking on minor price pumps, according to analyst TedPillows. Despite this selling pressure, the market shows potential for continued upside if key technical levels hold.
Weekly Chart Hints at Bullish ContinuationAccording to CryptoJelleNL, Solana’s weekly chart shows a prominent cup-and-handle pattern forming above $180 support. The recent bounce near $206 confirms a successful retest of the breakout zone. The $250 mark remains the last hurdle for buyers, and clearing this resistance could trigger a sustained rally toward $300–$340 by year-end.
Source: X
Conversely, a failure to overcome $250 may result in a brief pullback toward $190–$200 before another attempt. Consequently, the current setup signals bullish continuation if buyers can defend the retest and push decisively through this key resistance.
Daily Chart Insights and Liquidity SweepsOn the daily timeframe, Solana has reclaimed the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) after a brief dip, signaling renewed bullish interest, according to Umair Crypto. The recent sweep below the SMA likely gathered liquidity, setting up a potential move toward resistance around $229–$232.
Source: X
Nevertheless, traders remain cautious, as weekend closes often spark debates about the validity of short-term movements. A confirmed close above $210 would strengthen the bullish outlook, while slipping back under the SMA could target support levels at $185 and $161.
The RSI has recovered from oversold conditions but remains mid-range, suggesting measured buying interest. With the current price around $214, $SOL has gained 3.56% in the past 24 hours, despite a 1.24% decline over the last week. Trading volumes remain robust, with $7.31 billion exchanged in the last 24 hours, reflecting active investor engagement.
Regulatory Updates Add Another LayerBeyond technical factors, regulatory news continues to influence sentiment. Journalist Eleanor Terrett reports that the SEC has asked issuers of $SOL, $LTC, $XRP, $ADA, and $DOGE ETFs to withdraw their 19b-4 filings following the approval of generic listing standards. Withdrawals could begin this week, removing some previous regulatory hurdles for crypto ETFs.

Solana Could Get A Turbo Boost As Firedancer Targets Block Restrictions
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Solana’s performance push picked up fresh momentum this week as engineers behind Firedancer, the alternative high-performance validator client spearheaded by Jump, filed a new Solana Improvement Document (SIMD-0370) to remove the network’s block-level compute unit (CU) limit—a change they argue is now redundant after Alpenglow and would immediately translate into higher throughput and lower latency when demand spikes.
Next Turbo Boost For Solana
The pull request, authored by the “Firedancer Team” and opened on September 24, 2025, is explicitly framed as a “post-Alpenglow” proposal. In Alpenglow, voter nodes broadcast a SkipVote if they cannot execute a proposed block within the allotted time. Because slow blocks are automatically skipped, the authors contend that a separate protocol-enforced CU ceiling per block is unnecessary.
“In Alpenglow, voter nodes broadcast a SkipVote if they do not manage to execute a block in time… This SIMD therefore removes the block compute unit limit enforcement,” the document states, describing the limit as superfluous under the upgraded scheduling rules.
Beyond technical cleanliness, the authors pitch a sharper economic alignment. The current block-level CU cap, they argue, breaks incentives by capping capacity via protocol rather than hardware and software improvements. Removing it would let producers fill blocks up to what their machines can safely process and propagate, pushing client and hardware competition to the forefront.
“The capacity of the network is determined not by the capabilities of the hardware but by the arbitrary block compute unit limit,” they write, before outlining why lifting that lid would realign incentives for both validator clients and program developers.
Early code-review comments from core contributors and client teams underline both the near-term user impact and the boundaries of the change. One reviewer summarized the practical upside: “Removing the limit today has tangible benefits for the ecosystem and end users… without waiting for the future architecture of the network to be fleshed out.” Another emphasized that some block constraints would remain, citing a “maximum shred limit,” while others suggested the network should likely retain per-transaction CU limits for now and treat any change there as a separate, more far-reaching discussion.
Security and liveness considerations feature prominently. Reviewers asked the proposal to explicitly spell out why safety is preserved even if a block is too heavy to propagate in time; the Alpenglow answer is that such blocks are simply not voted in, i.e., they get skipped—maintaining forward progress without penalizing the network. The Firedancer authors concur that the decisive guardrail is the clock and propagation budget, not a static CU ceiling.
The proposal also addresses a frequent concern in throughput debates: coordination. If one block producer upgrades hardware aggressively while others lag, does the network risk churn from skipped blocks? One reviewer notes that overly ambitious producers already self-calibrate because missed blocks mean missed rewards, naturally limiting block size to what peers can accept in time. The document further argues that, with the CU limit gone, market forces govern capacity: producers and client teams that optimize execution, networking, and scheduling will win more blocks and fees, pushing the frontier outward as demand warrants.
Crucially, SIMD-0370 is future-compatible. Ongoing designs for multiple concurrent proposers—a long-term roadmap item for Solana—sometimes assume a block limit and sometimes do not. Reviewers stress that removing the current limit does not preclude concurrent-proposer architectures later; it simply unblocks improvements that “can be realized today.”
While the GitHub discussion supplies the technical meat, Anza—the Solana client team behind Agave—has also amplified the proposal on social channels, signaling broad client-team attention to the change and its user-facing implications.
What would change for users and developers if SIMD-0370 ships? In peak periods—airdrops, mints, market volatility—blocks could carry more compute as long as they can be executed and propagated within slot time, potentially raising sustained throughput and smoothing fee spikes.
For Solana developers, higher headroom and stronger incentives for client/hardware optimization could reduce tail latency for demanding workloads, albeit with the continuing need to optimize programs for parallelism and locality. For validators, the competitive edge would tilt even more toward execution efficiency, networking performance, and smart block-building policies that balance fee revenue against the risk of producing a block so heavy it gets skipped.
As with all SIMDs, the change is subject to community review, implementation, and deployment coordination across validator clients. But the direction is clear. Post-Alpenglow, Solana’s designers believe the slot-time budget is the real limiter.
At press time, Solana traded at $205.38.

Bitcoin Buyers Step Back After Failed Push Beyond $115,000: Data
Bitcoin traded listlessly as September wraps up, caught inside a tight price band and showing signs of weakening momentum.
Based on reports using CryptoQuant data and commentary by Axel Adler, demand cooled after the market failed to hold above $115,000, leaving traders watching a narrow corridor for the next move. The mood is neither euphoric nor panicked — it is cautious.
Mounting Pressure At Descending Highs
Over the past week Bitcoin swung between a local high near $115,550 and a low around $108,400. For the last sessions it settled into an even tighter $108,750–109,740 band. Sellers stepped in at lower highs, keeping the price from climbing back to the prior range.
According to Adler, those descending highs are a warning sign because they show buyers are losing early ground. Immediate resistance sits around $111,000–112,000, based on on-chain flows and exchange behavior.
Move past that and bulls could try to retake $114,000–115,400. Fail to defend $108,750 and the path down may quicken toward $106,000–105,000.
Momentum Has Turned Cautious
CryptoQuant’s 30-day momentum index finished the week near -2%, down from +1% at the start, a swing of three percentage points. Momentum readings this period ranged from -6% to +1%, and only two of seven sessions closed above zero.
Those figures underline how the loss of the $114,000–115,000 support coincided with falling buying pressure. Traders often look for sustained positive momentum to confirm a rally. According to Adler, a clear recovery would need a return above $112K and several days of positive momentum to shift the tone back toward an uptrend.
BTCUSD trading at $112,173 on the 24-hour chart: TradingView
Market Structure And What It Means
The current pattern is a classic consolidation after a failed breakout. Buyers tried and failed to keep prices north of $115,000, and that shortfall left the market in a neutral-to-bearish stance.
Reports have disclosed that the week’s range and the momentum slide make an immediate strong advance unlikely without fresh demand. At the same time, there is no sign of a full-scale sell-off. Liquidity remains present near established supports.
Key Levels To Watch
A decisive push above the $111,000–112,000 resistance band could prompt a test of $114,000–115,400. The $108,600 base remains a key level. A break below it without a swift rebound could open the way toward stronger support between $106,000 and $105,000.
Shifts in on-chain demand and exchange flows are expected to provide clearer signals, as price action alone may appear steady while underlying activity changes.

BitMine's Lee calls ETH a ‘discount to the future,' Bit Digital eyes $100M
Digital asset company Bit Digital plans to raise $100 million through a convertible senior note offering to grow its Ether treasury, while BitMine Immersion Technologies has extended its lead as the largest Ether treasury company.
Bit Digital said in a statement on Monday it’s also offering an option for an extra $15 million in notes, with all net proceeds earmarked for more Ether (ETH) purchases, plus general corporate purposes, “including potential investments, acquisitions and other business opportunities relating to digital assets.”
Bit Digital currently holds more than 120,000 Ether and is the seventh-largest Ether treasury company tracked by StrategicEtherReserve. If successful in its raise, the company could purchase another 23,714 tokens, which would bump it up the list to sixth, ahead of crypto exchange Coinbase.
Source: Bit DigitalBitMine extends its leadAt the same time, BitMine announced on Monday an expansion in its treasury holdings to 2.65 million Ether, worth over $11 billion, growing its lead against the second-largest company, SharpLink Gaming, which holds over 838,000 Ether.
StrategicEtherReserve lists Sept. 26 as BitMine’s latest purchase date, when it acquired 234,000 tokens as part of its long-term goal of holding 5% of the total supply.
BitMine estimates its average purchase price as $4,141 per Ether. The token is trading for $4,221, according to CoinGecko.
Ether purchased at a discount, Lee saysBitMine Chairman Tom Lee called ETH’s current price “a discount to the future” with two supercycles forming in the final months of 2025 — crypto and artificial intelligence — which both “require neutral public blockchains,” making Ethereum the “premier choice.”
“We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” Lee said.
“Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.”Jan van Eck, the CEO of investment management firm VanEck, which offers an Ether-based exchange-traded fund (ETF), made similar comments in August, predicting financial services will adopt a blockchain to handle stablecoin transactions, and he believes Ethereum will be the platform of choice.
Ether held by institutions could push priceInstitutions have been steadily acquiring Ether throughout 2025, with the total across treasury companies and ETFs sitting at over 11.8 million, representing just under 10% of the total token supply.
In August, Etherealize’s Vivek Raman told Cointelegraph the “healthy competition” between companies acquiring Ether could spark a DeFi Summer 2.0 “but on the institutional scale and bigger and better.”
Meanwhile, David Grider, a partner at Venture capital firm Finality Capital, predicted in an X post in July that the Ether treasury company “boom should bode well for ETH flows and price action similar to the impact MicroStrategy had on Bitcoin.”
