Ether Machine to launch $1.5B institutional ETH yield fund

A team of crypto-native researchers and public market experts is preparing to launch what it calls the largest yield-bearing Ether fund targeting institutional investors. The company, called Ether Machine, plans to create a publicly traded vehicle offering institutional-grade exposure to Ethereum infrastructure and Ether yield, it announced on Monday. It is co-founded by Andrew Keys, a former board member and head of global business development at Consensys, and David Merin, a former corporate development executive at Consensys who now serves as Ether Machine's CEO. Ether Machine aims to 'expand Ethereum's economic security as the base layer for the next era of global finance and computation,' according to its website. The company will be formed through a combination of The Ether Reserve and Dynamix Corp, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. Following this, Ether Machine plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol 'ETHM,' with over 400,000 ETH worth more than $1.5 billion under management at launch. Yield focus and Ethereum-native strategy Ether Machine said it aims to hold 'one of the largest onchain ETH positions' of any public company, generating ETH-denominated returns through staking, restaking and managed participation in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. The company said it will also offer 'turnkey infrastructure solutions' for enterprises, DAOs and Ethereum-native builders on the blockchain. Cointelegraph has reached out to Ether Machine for more details on the size and scope of the fund's ETH position. The announcement comes amid a growing roster of companies adopting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency treasuries, aiming to bolster shareholder value and attract more investors. On June 19, Nasdaq-listed Lion Group announced a $600 million Hyperliquid token treasury reserve, which debuted with a $10.6 million initial investment. On June 11, Interactive Strength, a Nasdaq-listed fitness equipment manufacturer, announced a $500 million raise to acquire tokens and establish the world's largest corporate AI token treasury, according to the firm.

US Stocks: S&P 500 and Nasdaq notch record high closes, lifted by Alphabet

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq notched record high closes on Monday, lifted by Alphabet and other megacaps ahead of several earnings reports this week, while investors bet on potential trade deals to blunt economic damage from the Trump administration's global tariffs. Google-parent Alphabet rallied 2.7% ahead of its quarterly report on Wednesday. It and Tesla, also reporting on Wednesday, kick off earnings from the so-called "Magnificent Seven", and their results may set the tone for other heavyweight companies reporting in the next several days. Tesla dipped 0.35%, while Apple gained 0.62% and Amazon rose 1.43%, both lifting the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Verizon rallied over 4% after the telecommunications company boosted its annual profit forecast. Analysts on average expected S&P 500 companies to report a 6.7% increase in earnings for the second quarter, with Big Tech driving much of that gain, according to LSEG I/B/E/S. "So far, companies that have reported have, in general, met or beat guidance from the prior quarter, and we haven't seen any degradation either in corporate profits or consumer spending," said Tom Hainlin, national investment strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis. With U.S. President Donald Trump's August 1 tariff deadline approaching, the S&P 500 is up about 8% year to date, with investors betting the economic damage from tariffs will be less than feared. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Sunday he was confident the United States could secure a trade deal with the European Union, even as EU members explored possible countermeasures against the United States. Trump has threatened 30% tariffs on imports from Mexico and the EU, and sent letters to other trading partners, including Canada, Japan and Brazil, setting tariffs ranging from 20% to 50%. The S&P 500 climbed 0.14% to end the session at 6,305.60 points. The Nasdaq gained 0.38% to 20,974.18 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.04% to 44,323.07 points. Seven of the 11 S&P 500 sector indexes rose, led by communication services, up 1.9%, followed by a 0.6% gain in consumer discretionary. Volume on U.S. exchanges was relatively heavy, with 19.7 billion shares traded, compared to an average of 17.7 billion shares over the previous 20 sessions. The S&P 500 has gained about 7% in 2025, while the Nasdaq has climbed almost 9%. Investors focused on how tariff uncertainty is impacting the U.S. economy will scrutinize jobless claims data and the July business activity report, expected on Thursday. They will also watch a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday for clues about when the Fed might cut interest rates, especially after mixed inflation signals last week. Traders have largely ruled out a July rate cut, and they now see a greater than 50% chance the Fed will cut by its September meeting, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Declining stocks outnumbered rising ones within the S&P 500 by a 1.7-to-one ratio. The S&P 500 posted 17 new highs and 9 new lows; the Nasdaq recorded 97 new highs and 56 new lows.
