Yunfeng Financial Group has purchased 10,000 Ethereum (ETH) from the open market, investing $44 million using its internal cash reserves. Yunfeng has a larger plan to expand into Web3, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), and artificial intelligence.
With Ethereum at the core of most Web3 infrastructure, the decision to include it as a strategic reserve asset signals a serious commitment.
Why Ethereum?
According to the company, its move to include Ethereum in its portfolio is in line with its Web3 technology initiative. Ethereum powers dApps, smart contracts, and tokenized assets. It’s a valuable asset for any financial group moving into the digital future.

Yunfeng is sure that Ethereum will also offer the infrastructure to tokenize RWAs. This is one of the key areas the company aims to innovate. They’re also optimistic about using ETH to support new applications in the insurance sector. The company says this ETH buy is just the start; it will keep checking the market and changing its holdings as needed.
The Bigger Picture
On July 14, 2025, Yunfeng indicated its intentions to venture into digital currency, ESG assets, and AI. The company says this ETH purchase is only the beginning and will adjust its holdings as needed based on market conditions.

The $44 million investment is significant but doesn’t need mandatory disclosure. It falls below the 5% transaction threshold set by Hong Kong stock exchange rules. Nonetheless, Yunfeng said it will follow listing rules if future ETH purchases reach that threshold.
A Word of Caution
Yunfeng also acknowledged that the cryptocurrency market is volatile. Investors should remember that ETH prices can change due to global events and regulatory changes. They urged shareholders and investors to proceed with caution when trading the company’s stock.
