2026 Ethereum HODLer Report: Top 1 Individual Address Private Key Lost, Top 20 Taken Over by Institutions/Exchanges

2026.02.12 15:45:46

**Arkham Releases 2026 Report on Top Ethereum Holders** On February 12, Arkham published its report *Who Holds the Most Ethereum? Top ETH Holders of 2026*, outlining the largest ETH holding addresses in the current market. **Key Data Points:** - Over 60% of total ETH supply resides in the ETH2 deposit contract: 77,186,906 ETH (valued at ~$241.39 billion, accounting for 63.23% of total supply). - The largest individual holder is Rain Lohmus (250,000 ETH, ~$786 million) — but he cannot access the funds due to a lost private key. - Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is the largest holder with accessible funds: 240,000 ETH (~$754 million). Additional data is available in the accompanying chart. **BlockBeats Note:** Rain Lohmus is a co-founder of LHV Group, a leading Estonian financial firm (operating as LHV Pank/Bank). During Ethereum’s 2014 ICO, he invested ~$75,000 to acquire 250,000 ETH (priced at $0.30 per token at the time). None of these ETH have been transferred, and the address is fully visible on the blockchain. In 2023, Lohmus publicly confirmed the lost key on Estonian National Broadcasting, stating: *“Anyone can calculate its value themselves.”* He also noted he would share a portion of the assets if a reliable recovery method is found. By 2025–2026, as ETH prices surged significantly, the 250,000 ETH briefly topped $1.2 billion in value.

Goldman Sachs has pushed back its forecast for the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike from October to December.

Goldman Sachs said Wednesday’s U.S. inflation data, paired with New York Fed President John Williams’ comments yesterday, has led the firm to now view an October Federal Reserve interest rate hike as unlikely. Economists Jan Hatzius, David Mericle, and Alec Phillips noted in a research report that, based on the latest inflation data, they project fourth-quarter core PCE year-over-year growth will reach 3.0%, well below the 3.4% median forecast from FOMC participants. The bank has thus pushed back its expectation for a second rate hike to December, and believes the FOMC has a high likelihood of ultimately determining no further rate increases are needed.

US SEC plans to relax private investment thresholds, pushing retail investors to enter the private market.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday unveiled a series of reform proposals aimed at expanding individual investors’ access to private markets, enabling more retail investors to gain exposure to private equity, early-stage startups and other alternative assets. One proposal would allow registered investment advisors to charge performance fees of up to 20% based on fund performance, aligning the fee structure closer to the “2% management fee + 20% performance fee” model used by some hedge funds, in a bid to attract more private fund managers to serve individual investors. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the commission aims to explore ways to expand individual investors’ participation in private markets while preventing fraud and misconduct. The SEC also proposed expanding the definition of an “accredited investor” to qualify more individuals with professional credentials, including certified public accountants (CPAs) and Chartered Financial Analysts (CFAs), as eligible investors.
