ETH Strategy Raises $15.6 Million, Doubling Ethereum Treasury Holdings and Advancing On-Chain Governance
- ETH Strategy increased its treasury to 8,300 ETH after raising $15.6 million from anonymous strategic contributors.
- Ethereum maintains a 54.95% share in the $7.02B RWA market despite a 6.93% 30-day value decline.
- Ethereum-based tokenized assets attracted over 329,498 holders, with Paxos Gold and BUIDL totaling $3.3 billion in value.
Ethereum’s autonomous treasury protocol, ETH Strategy, has expanded its holdings by raising an additional 4,200 ETH, valued at $15.6 million, as noted via a post on X by Whale Insider. This brings the total treasury balance to 8,300 ETH. The funding arrives amid growing momentum for decentralized capital coordination and on-chain financial infrastructure. ETH Strategy is designed to operate through smart contracts without manual control, aligning with Ethereum’s permissionless governance goals.
Smart Contract-Based Treasury Secures Strategic Contributions
According to a report by AInvest, the latest capital raise was backed by anonymous strategic contributors. These funds will be allocated under the protocol’s autonomous system that eliminates centralized oversight. ETH Strategy uses programmable logic to manage its capital, targeting DAOs, decentralized projects, and Ethereum-native initiatives. The funds will support new funding programs and governance tools expected to enhance Ethereum’s on-chain ecosystem.
The protocol’s treasury growth occurs in parallel with Ethereum’s continued lead in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. As of July 27, 2025, Ethereum held a 54.95% share of the RWA market, totaling $7.0265 billion. This figure reflects a 6.93% decline over 30 days but maintains Ethereum’s leading position. The RWA segment includes tokenized equities, gold, and U.S. Treasuries, offering new channels for capital diversification.
Ethereum’s asset holder count grew by 48.81% over the same 30-day period. The increase underscores institutional demand for Ethereum-based tokenized products. Projects like Paxos Gold and BlackRock’s BUIDL demonstrate over $3.3 billion in value held across 329,498 wallets. These tokenized instruments continue to attract interest from firms seeking stable, collateral-backed blockchain exposure.
Funding Anchored in Infrastructure, Not Speculation
The $15.6 million raise is positioned within Ethereum’s existing infrastructure growth, without projections based on market speculation. Ethereum’s RWA footprint outpaced alternatives like ZKsync Era, which saw only a 7.28% gain in the same timeframe. The funding supports Ethereum’s positioning in a $253.64 billion stablecoin market, dominated by collateral-based digital assets.
ETH Strategy’s growth aligns with developments between major financial institutions and blockchain protocols. Partnerships include Bank of America’s work with Ripple on stablecoin RLUSD and JPMorgan’s endorsement of tokenized money markets.
These developments reflect deeper institutional movement toward on-chain finance and self-custody frameworks. As treasury capacity increases, ETH Strategy plans to scale its governance systems and capital distribution. The move reflects Ethereum’s transition toward a decentralized, tokenized economy, focused on transparency, security, and autonomous coordination in financial operations.
