Ethereum's value encountered fresh downward momentum as

, a digital asset treasury company specializing in , to finance a stock repurchase initiative, intensifying worries in the market about crypto treasuries selling assets to support share prices. This transaction, which brought in about $33 million at prevailing rates, was paired with $10 million in borrowed capital to buy back 3.4 million shares—representing 8% of the company’s outstanding shares—at an average of $3.45 each, well below the net asset value (NAV) of $3.94 per share. This action soon after the news broke, though it later recovered to hover near $3,033.72.

Zooming out, the broader environment reveals mounting instability in the digital asset treasury (DAT) space, where companies are more frequently compelled to liquidate crypto reserves to fund buybacks as their share prices remain significantly under the NAV of their assets.

FG Nexus’s pivot toward managing Ethereum treasuries and tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) has

As of November 19, 2025, the firm’s balance sheet lists a total of 40,005 ETH, but as a result of aggressive buyback strategies.

With ether at a technical crossroads, the balance between corporate selling and institutional buying will likely shape its short-term direction. As the market keeps an eye on major support levels and regulatory changes like staking ETFs, volatility is expected to persist.
