Grayscale, the world’s largest digital assets manager, purchased nearly $25 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) in a single day after the price of ETH dropped below $1,600. ETH has dipped nearly 20% in the last 5 days.

According to the latest data published by crypto Analytics firm, Bybt.com, Grayscale has accumulated a total of 15,521 ETH in the last 24 hours in an effort to take advantage of the recent crash in ETH. As of writing, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency is trading near $1,600 with a total market cap of $185 billion.

The crypto asset manager now holds 3.17 million ETH with a total value of more than $5.1 billion. Grayscale purchased 238,784 ETH in the last 30 days. The firm reopened its ETH Trust in late January 2021 after a temporary hold on new investments in December 2020.

Grayscale has accelerated its efforts to accumulate ETH in the last few months. Recently, the company released a report on ETH and highlighted the potential benefits of ETH 2.0. Michael Sonnenshein, CEO of Grayscale mentioned in December 2020 that the institutional interest in ETH-related investment products has grown significantly.
