ANOTHER ONE 🏦

BREAKING: QMMM Stock Skyrockets Nearly 1,750% on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana Treasury Plan

BTC

Another day… another corporate treasury…

A little-known Hong Kong digital advertising firm just went parabolic after announcing it’s going all-in on crypto.

Shares of QMMM Holdings exploded as much as 1,750% today after the Nasdaq-listed company revealed plans for a $100 million digital assets treasury focusing on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

At one point, the stock spiked above $200 before cooling back toward $150 - still a meteoric leap from single digits just days ago.

qmmm

This chart is ridiculous…

And the treasury is just the start.

QMMM says it’s also building:

A decentralized data marketplace

  • Pairing AI with blockchain to deliver analytics

  • DAO treasury tools

  • Metaverse integrations

  • And smart contract security.

CEO Bun Kwai framed the pivot as a bet on accelerating global adoption:

“The global adoption of digital assets and blockchain technology is accelerating at an unprecedented pace… QMMM’s entry into this space reflects our commitment to technological innovation and our vision to bridge the digital economy with real-world applications.”

Bun Kwai

But skeptics point out the math doesn’t add up.

SEC filings show QMMM ended last year with less than $500K in cash and a $1.6M net loss.

How it plans to fund a $100M treasury remains a mystery.

Even so, the mania is clear.

Corporate digital asset treasuries now hold ~$120B in crypto - and QMMM isn’t alone.

Just a day earlier, Eightco stock ripped 3,000% after announcing a $250M World token treasury.

The takeaway: Wall Street no longer needs a Tesla or MicroStrategy to spark fireworks.

Any public company hinting at a Bitcoin, ETH, or Solana treasury is enough to send stocks vertical.

And if this keeps spreading, the corporate adoption wave in this cycle won’t just be bigger. It’ll be wilder. 🚀

ETHEREUM WHALES ARE CIRCLING 🐋

In just the past week, the biggest Ethereum treasury players have gone on an absolute buying spree:

As Anthony Sassano - OG Ethereum voice and founder of The Daily Gwei - points out, this is not a trend you want to bet against.

Anthony Sassano

Here’s the public company buying he flagged in a recent post:

  • ETHZilla - $100M ETH into EtherFi

  • The Ether Machine - added +150,000 ETH

  • BitMine - added +74,284 ETH

  • SharpLink - added +39,526 ETH

  • Yunfeng Financial (co-founded by Jack Ma)- added +10,000 ETH

That’s hundreds of thousands of ETH quietly scooped up by whales with deep, patient capital.

Don’t bet against the whales.

Ethereum’s supply shock is building. 🐋

THIS CHART ONLY GOES UP 📈

Today we’ll be taking a look the overall stablecoin supply.

Stablecoins are the backbone of crypto liquidity, used for seamless trading and instant cross-border transactions.

The chart below tracks the aggregate change in the total stablecoin market cap.

  • 🟢 Increased stablecoin supply: increased demand and capital inflows into the digital asset space 🐂

  • 🔴 Contractions in stablecoin supply: net capital outflows from digital assets 🐻

onchain

Two weeks ago, the stablecoin supply sat at $240.40B.

Today? $246.34B.

That’s a $5.94B surge in just 14 days - and of course a brand-new all-time high. 🚀

Since January 1st, supply has exploded by $61.30B. 🤯

Let that sink in…

Why does this matter? Because stablecoins aren’t just digital dollars. They’re dry powder.

Fresh capital. Sitting on-chain. Locked. Loaded. Ready to fire.

And the pattern couldn’t be clearer: stablecoin supply doesn’t trail rallies… it ignites them.

They’re not the aftermath of a bull run. They’re the spark that lights it. 🔥
