Ether Machine to Debut on Nasdaq Backed by $1.5B in Ethereum

A new Ethereum investment entity, Ether Machine, is set to go public on the Nasdaq through a merger with Dynamix Corporation (DYNX), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The listing will bring with it roughly 400,000 ETH — valued at approximately $1.53 billion — on its balance sheet.

Dynamix shares surged more than 30% in premarket trading Monday, climbing to around $13.40 following the announcement.

Ether Machine positions itself as a next-generation institutional vehicle designed to offer public market exposure to ETH and its yield opportunities. The firm will pursue returns through Ethereum staking, restaking, and DeFi-based strategies.

The launch is backed by $645 million in ETH from Andrew Keys, a former executive at Consensys, who will also serve as chairman of the company. A further $800 million in capital has been raised from a group of major crypto players including Pantera Capital, Kraken, Blockchain.com, and 1RoundTable Partners.

The listing arrives amid renewed strength in Ethereum markets. Ether (ETH) gained 25% last week to break above $3,800 for the first time this year, providing a strong tailwind for Ether Machine’s market debut.
