Jack Ma’s company Yunfeng has invested $44 million into Ethereum at a crucial time. The coin is up 84% over the last 12 months and nearly 4% for the day. Ma owns Alibaba, the multinational Chinese retail company. With Ma’s Yunfeng committing so seriously to Ethereum, it could be a signal to investors that the digital token is worth investing in right now.

Yunfeng has already stated that they may invest more or get rid of some of their investment as the market changes. The company is focused on working with artificial intelligence, Web3 and fiat currency to provide greater financial services to its clients. Ethereum is an important part of that.

How Is Ethereum Performing Right Now?

Over the last week, Ethereum has lost 3.58% of its value, even with its recent surge. For most of the week, Bitcoin (BTC) outperformed ETH, but on Wednesday, ETH climbed much faster. Now valued at $4,469 (ETH/USD), Ethereum is having a bit of a resurgence.

Ethereum is very close to its all-time high of $4,485- less than 10% away. It could break that record soon, especially with this whale purchase from Yunfeng helping it along. Investor sentiment is high with Ethereum at the moment, and it has managed to outperform even Bitcoin at several points in 2025. In many ways, it is the more desirable asset for now.

Other entities are picking up ETH in large quantities as well recently. Sharplink Gaming bought up 10,000 ETH back in July. They may soon be joined by the Ether machine, a company working with cryptocurrency infrastructure. They intend to enter the public eye and become listed on Nasdaq with one of the largest holders of Ethereum in the world.

Rate cut expectations and rising demand for Ethereum could help propel the coin much higher in the latter part of 2025. It is at its 2025 peak and rising and could easily settle above $4,500 very soon.
