Bitmine, an Ethereum treasury company, has purchased nearly 10,000 ETH, according to reporting from CoinDesk. This move is part of the company's expanded stock buyback program.
The decision to buy more ether is based on the observation that ether is outperforming bitcoin, which is seen as a bullish signal for the cryptocurrency market. This view is shared by Tom Lee, who points to the rising ETH/BTC ratio as an indicator of stronger crypto prices.
