Ethereum Founder Keeps Bitcoin
Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, commented on the debate over the optimal portfolio allocation, stating that his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings are less than 10%. His remarks coincide with ETH’s more than 3% increase, which has rekindled debates about the best way to allocate a cryptocurrency portfolio.
Crypto analyst Udi Wertheimer started the discussion by stating that serious cryptocurrency investors should put at least 10% of their portfolio into Bitcoin, ideally closer to 70%.
However, Buterin adopted a different position, declaring that he owns less than 10% of Bitcoin and less than 10% of any asset that isn’t Ethereum. His remarks support an investment strategy, that prioritizes Ethereum while limiting exposure to other crypto assets.
Ethereum’s bullish price action and Buterin’s portfolio disclosure happened simultaneously with technical indicators pointing to a possible rally to all-time highs.
Market analyst Ted Pillows claims that Ethereum has entered a short-term expansion phase after a period of accumulation and manipulation, paving the way for a significant breakout.
Institutional accumulation is another factor driving the momentum; Trump’s World Liberty Financial has acquired over $420 million in digital assets, including $210 million in Ethereum.
The market is closely observing whether Ethereum’s increasing adoption will result in steady long-term gains, given the significant investments made by major players in the cryptocurrency.
