The Ethereum staking market is making big moves again. According to on-chain monitoring, a certain Ethereum treasury company Bitmine continued to increase its holdings in Ethereum PoS staking contracts early this morning, depositing a single amount of 82,560 ETH, equivalent to approximately 259 million RMB. This is not their first move — since officially launching ETH staking on December 27, the company has staked a total of 544,064 ETH within just a week, with a current estimated total value approaching 1.7 billion USD.

This sustained large-scale staking activity reflects institutional confidence in Ethereum's long-term value and also indirectly indicates the current attractiveness of the Ethereum ecosystem. As more institutional players enter the staking race, on-chain participation and ecosystem lock-in are steadily increasing. For investors, such whale-level position changes often signal a shift in market sentiment and are worth paying attention to.

Whales are eating ETH again, this time $1.7 billion in a week... Is it true? Institutions are definitely aware of this move, but the question is whether retail investors can keep up. Are staking yields really that attractive, or is it just a gamble on future price increases?

Damn, $1.7 billion in a week? This move is really incredible, Bitmine is really betting big. I can't imagine institutions are so bullish on ETH, should I follow suit? This pace clearly shows big funds are piling in wildly. This staking frenzy is a bit crazy, should I join in or stay on the sidelines? Whales are moving, I need to keep a close watch. $540 million worth of ETH just went in this week? Awesome. It feels like the staking expectations have been hyped up, be careful of getting caught holding the bag, brothers. Such institutional-level position changes really need to be taken seriously. No way, how do these big players have so much money? I need to look for opportunities. Bitmine's recent moves are a bit wild, feels like the bottom might be starting to turn?

Damn, Bitmine has been aggressively adding 1.7 billion dollars worth of ETH this week. I really can't hold it anymore.
