Nansen said that the address has made over $200 million from its ether holdings. CoinDesk reached out to DBS seeking confirmation of the holdings.
Ether is the native token of Ethereum, the world’s leading distributed computing platform for creating smart contracts and decentralized applications. Over the years, Ethereum has become a go-to technology for investment banks to tokenize capital markets.
The bank is not new to crypto and offers a range of services, including digital asset custody, a trading exchange for security tokens, and a portfolio management app for both traditional and crypto assets.
A recent report by the bank highlighted the growing interest in the crypto market from retail investors, high-frequency traders, and hedge funds.
Nansen’s revelations of DBS’ ether holdings come as the crypto market patiently awaits the debut of spot ether exchange-traded funds in the U.S., which are expected to boost the cryptocurrency’s mainstream institutional adoption.
Since 2020, several listed firms have turned to crypto, mainly bitcoin, to diversify their reserves. Bitcoin ETFs began trading in the U.S. in January.
