The 5% Problem: When a Single Entity Rewrites Ethereum's Risk Model

CryptoCred
The ledger doesn't lie, but it rarely tells the whole story without context. A new data point has entered the public domain: BitMine, an entity with an opaque operational history, is reportedly on the verge of holding 5% of the total ETH supply. The market's initial reaction is a shrug. My reaction is different. When a single address cluster approaches that threshold, we are no longer discussing an investment thesis; we are discussing a structural mutation in the network's risk architecture. This is not a price prediction. It is a forensic audit of a systemic shift.
