Buterin has backed ETH treasury firms as ‘good’ for investment options. The latest ETH price rebound triggered accelerated profit-taking compared to last week. 

Crypto treasuries have been the hottest narrative in 2025, giving Ethereum [ETH] a new lifeline after a challenging 2024 and Q1 2025. 

But the trend continues to elicit mixed views from different analysts and industry leaders. 

In a recent interview with Bankless, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin was asked whether the trend is good for ETH, and he replied, 

“ETH just being an asset that companies can have as part of their treasury is good and valuable… giving people more options is good.”

But like other critics, he cautioned that excessive debt leverage could undermine the asset. 

“If you woke me up 3 years from now and told me that treasuries led to the downfall of ETH… my guess would be that they turned into an overleveraged game.”
