Even the DAT Companies Included in the Russell Index Can't Save Ethereum

The FTSE Russell preliminary list for 2026 includes several crypto-related companies like CoreWeave, Iren, Galaxy Digital, and DAT firms BitMine and Sharplink. Inclusion in the Russell 3000 index means billions in passive fund inflows will automatically buy these stocks. While this is positive for the stock prices of these Digital Asset Technology (DAT) companies, the article argues it may not directly benefit the underlying cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. DAT firms can use stock price gains to buy more crypto, but the capital doesn't flow directly to the assets. Citing David Hoffman's recent exit from ETH, the piece notes a structural issue: Ethereum's value as a public good ("giver, not taker") and the profit capture by L2s and applications mean only a small portion of ecosystem success translates to ETH's price. Despite BitMine buying millions of ETH during its price decline, Ethereum's value has fallen significantly. The conclusion is that while index inclusion marks traditional finance acceptance, the "ETH as money" narrative is fading. New value narratives for native tokens are needed, as current mechanisms like chain revenue and buybacks may have inherent limits.

Will ETH See Fund Inflows Again? Sharplink and BitMine Make It onto the Russell Index List

Two Ethereum (ETH)-related public companies, Sharplink (SBET) and BitMine (BMNR), will be added to the U.S. Russell Indexes on June 29, 2026. SBET is confirmed for the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000, while BMNR is on the preliminary list for the Russell 3000 and has a high chance of entering the Russell 1000. This inclusion acts as an "automatic shopping list" for massive passive investment funds like ETFs and pension plans, compelling them to buy these stocks to match the index composition. Consequently, millions of mainstream investors who do not directly trade crypto will automatically gain exposure to these Ethereum-linked equities through their index funds. This move channels significant passive capital—trillions of dollars track these indexes—into SBET and BMNR, integrating Ethereum-related investment opportunities into traditional financial portfolios. While the funds buy the companies' stocks, not ETH directly, this is expected to provide short-term price support for the stocks and increase their liquidity and institutional ownership. Over the long term, it could also indirectly incentivize the companies to acquire more ETH.
