According to a public statement from Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee, the main reason Ethereum's recent gains have outperformed Bitcoin is market optimism over a shift in the U.S. regulatory framework. Tom Lee cited prediction market data, noting that the probability of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) passing has risen to nearly 50%, a two-week high.
He stated, "We believe regulatory clarity is a major milestone that will benefit the entire crypto market, especially smart contract platforms like Ethereum." As of the time of reporting, ETH is trading around $1,770, up 10% over the past month, while Bitcoin has only risen 2% in the same period.
According to Bitmine's official statement, the company has currently deployed 4,879,157 ETH (approximately 85% of total holdings) into its own staking platform, MAVAN. Its self-operated validator nodes have achieved an annualized yield of approximately 2.68% over the past 7 days, and the current annualized staking revenue has reached $235 million.
Tom Lee stated that once the staking volumes on the MAVAN network and from partners are fully operational, the company's annual staking revenue is expected to reach up to $277 million.
According to Bitmine's official information, the company was officially added to the Russell 1000 Index on June 26, 2026. Tom Lee optimistically expects that after inclusion in a major index, the company will have the opportunity to attract more large institutional investors and passive fund allocations, further expanding its shareholder base.
