Ethereum News: ETH RWAs Market Cap Hits $15 Billion Despite the Ongoing Crypto Winter

Ethereum RWA growth makes for interesting Ethereum news, keeping in mind the latest market bear market. It highlights robust growth in an upcoming high-volume segment.

The robust growth of Ethereum RWA cements the networks role as a major global technological infrastructure.

Another Ethereum Treasury Trims its Holdings

While the Ethereum RWA milestone represents a major win, it was not quite felt in the market. This is because the bears have firmly dominated the markets for months.

Institutions and whales have been dumping their holdings left, right and center. Lookonchains mid-week Ethereum news update revealed that FG Nexus, an Ethereum Treasury firm, just joined the cohort of institutional sellers.

The Ethereum treasuries company reportedly sold 7,550 ETH on Wednesday. This was the companys second-largest ETH selloff since November last year.

FG Nexus is one of the few Ethereum treasury companies that built up substantial holdings in 2025. According to CoinGecko, the companys ETH holdings peaked at 50,778 ETH between October and November.

Those holdings were worth over $238 million at their peak. However, the company sold just over 10,000 ETH on 19 November. That sale, combined with the massive ETH price drawdown over the last few months, has since shaved the value of FG Nexuss ETH holdings to $74.2 million at press time.

The latest outflow suggests that FG Nexus may be trimming its ETH exposure, thereby contributing to the latest sell pressure. However, the latest sale left it with a substantial amount of 32,538 ETH.

Ethereum News Has Been Heavily Focused on Institutional Outflows

The FG Nexus ETH sale reflects recent news noting institutional affinity for selling over the past few weeks, rather than accumulating. Even the crypto ETFs segment remained fixated on the bearish side.

This week, Ethereum ETF flows leaned more towards outflows, kicking off with about $49.5 million worth of sell pressure on Monday. They switched gears to a modest $9.2 million in inflows on Tuesday, but zero flows were registered on Wednesday.

ETH price still pulled off an impressive 13% rally on Wednesday, despite low institutional interest. It even reclaimed the $2,000 price level and traded at $2,101 at press time.

This gain was even more pronounced than the bounce-back on 6 February. The latter was previously the biggest daily green candle so far this year and this could signal major buying activity.

In other words, the bulls might be renewing their challenge against the bears. The next few days will determine whether sustained momentum continues to grow or whether weak activity resumes.
