Subject Company: Dynamix Corporation
Commission File No.: 001-42414
As previously disclosed, on July 21, 2025, Dynamix Corporation (“ SPAC ”) and The Ether Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Pubco ”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2025, with ETH SPAC Merger Sub Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, The Ether Reserve LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company ”), Ethos Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC (“ SPAC Subsidiary A ”), Ethos Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary A (“ SPAC Subsidiary B ”), Ethos Sub 3, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC Subsidiary B, and ETH Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
David Merin, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Pubco, appeared on an interview with Cheddar Inc. on July 22, 2025, which was aired on July 29, 2025. The following is a transcription of the interview:
JD Durkin: As Ethereum continues to emerge as the backbone of the new look decentralized economy, one company is giving institutional investors a direct and purpose-built on-ramp to the future of finance, with a laser focus on staking and ETH-denominated yield. The Ether Machine is not only participating in the Ethereum ecosystem, it is helping to actively shape it. Co-founder and CEO of the Ether Machine, David Merin, joins us now. It is great to have you here, David. Appreciate your time. Good morning.
David Merin: Thank you. Good morning. It’s wonderful to be here.
JD Durkin: Of course. So let’s start with a bit of an introduction to the company, what it’s all about. And why do you feel right now is really the right time to launch a pure-play Ethereum product like this?
David Merin: Absolutely. So the Ether Machine is a dedicated, institutional-focused vehicle to provide public market investors access to Ethereum. We created it from scratch and a de novo entity with a team of the world’s leading experts at driving this to really provide public market investors with the best way to own this dynamic asset that is Ethereum, which, in our opinion, requires active management to properly capitalize on.
JD Durkin: Let’s make this make sense for people that have a familiarity with Bitcoin and Ethereum, but maybe don’t really understand the key structural differences in terms of a decentralized future. What is Ethereum as a core product to offer? That may be other names in the space don’t - they’re really important differentiators here, right?
David Merin: Yeah, absolutely. So maybe I’ll focus on Bitcoin first because I think Bitcoin and Ethereum are really the only two maximally decentralized protocols out there. Bitcoin is best thought of as digital gold, right? I mean, it’s really good for transferring value between one person and another. Whereas Ethereum is a platform for general-purpose digital ownership. Right. And, you know, with the regulatory clarity we’ve started to see emerge over the past week really out of DC. Now is the time that developers can really start to ramp up these use cases and help transition the global economy onto these digital rails to create the next generation of the internet. Right. And you’re just seeing this right now with things like there’s been $9 trillion in stablecoin volume in 2025 alone, 80% of which has been settling on Ethereum, obviously rapidly growing. And it’s not even really integrated into the rails of much of these major financial institutions yet or web2 platforms. Of course, we expect that to accelerate in the years to come here. But really, that’s just the beginning, right? Stablecoins are just the first expression of tokenized digital ownership out there. You know, there are $240 billion of tokenized assets out there, 90% of which are on Ethereum. But really, when you think about kind of the assets that exist today, that’s really just getting started, right? I mean, as you think about things like AI coming online, etc., right. These are obviously going to be the rails for ownership of the next generation of the internet. And we think that’s the era we’re rapidly entering with this regulatory clarity.

JD Durkin: So ETH is up 23% over the last week. It’s up 75% off of its June 22nd lows. What does that mean for the company?
David Merin: Look you know, we launched this week with $1.6 billion of committed capital making us the largest, you know, Ethereum treasury company out there. And look as this ecosystem grows, we think there’s a phenomenal opportunity for growth on our end as well. Right. And I think what you’re seeing there is really a reflection of the fundamentals rapidly improving as we get this regulatory clarity through things like the Genius Act and the Clarity Act, etc., that have been working their way through D.C.
JD Durkin: And what do you feel most sets Ether Machine apart from other ETH focused products, ETH focused funds, or staking platforms that are already in the space?
David Merin: I think there’s a few different things. So one, we are a lean team, right? It’s a small team, but it’s a small team of dedicated and focused full-time experts, and I don’t really think you will find a team like this out there. Right. With a, you know, pioneers and things like staking and DeFi focused on driving this kind of clean institutional vehicle for public market ownership, right. You know, we purpose built this vehicle for this moment in the space because we have strong conviction that this is the way that public market investors should own the future of the internet.
JD Durkin: Break down for me some of the ways that you’re able to generate, I know you say market-leading ETH denominated yields. What does that process look like?
David Merin: Absolutely. So there’s really two core elements here. You know, one is call it more technical and the other is more financial. Right. So on the technical front, our CTO was one of the pioneers of Ethereum staking. He’ll be engaged in driving a process on both staking and restaking, basically. Think about it as leveraging that security generated by the Ethereum blockchain, not just to get to consensus on the transactions on Ethereum, but to provide more general purpose security and digital security. Right. So we’ll do that. That will generate yield on our treasury, but also on the more financial part, obviously, we have a Head of DeFi who I think will be engaged in, you know, driving optimal risk-adjusted returns in DeFi on that Treasury as well. And then also, we’ll look to leverage some of the capital markets and activities we’ve seen other players like MicroStrategy pioneer in Bitcoin.
JD Durkin: Why is ETH a must-have asset for modern investors?
David Merin: ETH is the future of the internet, right? So web 1.0 was around read-only. I think back to websites in the 90s. Web2 was around writing on the internet, social media where you could share your own content and, you know, like others in the space, we think that Web3 is going to be focused on ownership of the internet, right? And ETH is the platform for digital ownership. You know, with more than 90% of the value of tokenized assets being there. And look, I think if investors want to own a piece of this future, if the next wave of the internet, they need ETH exposure.
JD Durkin: And finally, before I let you go, where do you see Ether Machine being and even just in the next, let’s say, 3 to 5 years, which in some regards is a not very long amount of time, but the technology is changing. So 3 to 5 years is a long time in some ways. And what role do you want the company to play in the future of Ethereum itself?
David Merin: Yeah. Look, I think we hope to build a pillar of the Ethereum ecosystem here, which we also hope to be a pillar of the US capital. So that’s our medium-term goal. Might sound a little ambitious, but we’re optimistic.
JD Durkin: All right David, thanks a lot for being here. Congratulations on all of the success. We’ll continue to track both the company and the incredible performance as of late of Ethereum. David thank you.
David Merin: Wonderful. Thank you JD.
