Source: ArkhamHowever, by May 8, 2025, OnchainDataNerd reported that the organization deposited 1,000 BTC to Kraken. They hold only 983 BTC, equivalent to $98 million at current prices. This indicates that Abraxas significantly reduced its BTC position to focus on ETH, with ETH holdings surging to $561 million in the same period.This shift may reflect Abraxas’s confidence in ETH’s long-term potential, particularly as the Ethereum ecosystem thrives with DeFi and NFT applications. The reduction in BTC holdings and increased investment in ETH suggest they may be preparing for a new growth cycle for Ethereum, especially after ETH recently surpassed the $2,500 mark.“ETH is a bet on fundamentals. Ethereum dominates on developers, stablecoins, RWAs and NFTs.” A user on X commentedWith its potential, analysts believe that Ethereum could soon surpass Bitcoin.
