Is This the Reason Behind Ethereum’s Big Rally? A $500 Million ETH Purchase Is on the Table
London-based asset management firm Abraxas Capital purchased nearly $500 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) in just six days, according to on-chain data.
According to a post by on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain based on Arkham Intelligence data, the company has acquired an additional 33,482 ETH (approximately $84.7 million) in the last 12 hours, bringing the total to 211,030 ETH (approximately $477.6 million).
Lookonchain also stated that Abraxas Capital borrowed 240 million USDT via Aave prior to these acquisitions and deposited these funds into Binance.
Presto Research analyst Min Jung said, “ETH had lagged behind BTC throughout the year. However, we see some confidence returning after the Pectra update. The ETH/BTC parity had fallen 40 percent since the beginning of the year to 0.02 levels, and it is not surprising that buyers stepped in at these levels.”
LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck stated in his statement that the Pectra upgrade triggered an increase in prices and made the following assessment:
“With positive macroeconomic news, investors have begun to believe that the crypto industry can once again be a haven from market uncertainty. The end of the negative trend in altcoins and the reemergence of risk appetite are changing investor sentiment.”

US energy stocks remain "cheap" after surging: High oil prices may lead to a valuation recovery
The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF, which tracks US energy stocks, has surged over 43% year-to-date, far outperforming other S&P 500 sectors. Despite this, the energy sector remains one of the lowest-valued sectors within the S&P 500. High oil prices have led to excess profits for energy stocks; although Wall Street previously viewed this round of earnings growth as a temporary phenomenon, if elevated oil prices persist longer than expected, the valuation recovery of energy stocks may have only just begun.

Besant brings Peashooter to tank battle, US Treasury repo hits a wall, 10-year US Treasury yield at three-year high
U.S. Treasury bonds are currently facing multiple pressures, including high oil prices intensifying inflation, rising expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, soaring fiscal deficits, and large-scale corporate bond issuances. At the same time, the $6 billion buyback scale has fallen short of market expectations. While Bessent had previously made lowering long-term yields a policy goal, on Tuesday he admitted that it's impossible to change the "equilibrium" price of government bonds. Analysts pointed out that buybacks cannot stop the fundamentals-driven yield trends, likening it to "the Treasury bringing a pea shooter to a tank battle."
