Trend Research has emerged as a major force in Ethereum accumulation after purchasing 46,379 ETH this week, lifting its total holdings to roughly 580,000 Ether. That places the firm ahead of most publicly tracked Ethereum treasuries, despite not being a listed company.

The institution is linked to LD Capital founder Jack Yi, whose onchain activity shows consistent large-scale ETH buying since October. Yi has indicated the firm is preparing an additional $1 billion for future Ether purchases, urging traders not to short the asset. Analysts say this kind of accumulation reflects a strategic bet on long-term network influence rather than short-term price action.
