On-chain data monitoring shows that the Ethereum staking ecosystem is experiencing new developments. The corporate treasury Bitmine continued to increase its Ethereum holdings today — two hours ago, it acquired 32,938 ETH from FalconX, worth approximately $97.6 million. More importantly, the institution simultaneously deposited 118,944 ETH into the PoS staking contract, locking in $352 million.

Since launching the staking program on December 27, Bitmine's series of actions indicate that the institution remains quite optimistic about Ethereum's long-term prospects. Continuous buying and staking not only reflect confidence in the ecosystem's fundamentals but also demonstrate that large funds are still positioning themselves in mainstream assets under the current market environment. Transactions of this institutional level often have subtle impacts on Ethereum's liquidity and staking data.

Big institutions are quietly accumulating again, and us retail investors can only watch. Institutions are playing chess, while we're still guessing. Bitmine's recent move is really aggressive, 350 million in one go, how bold do you have to be? I just want to know when it's our turn to make money. The staking ecosystem is booming, but my ETH is still lying in the exchange. Here they come again, big funds are positioning in mainstream assets. Honestly, they still favor ETH. Retail investors are in FOMO mode; it's time to accelerate building our moat.

Big whales are starting to stock up again, it seems they are still optimistic about Ethereum. Bitmine's move is definitely a bottom-fishing strategy. Institutions invested 350 million into the staking pool, I really didn't expect that. They bought 97.6 million in one go, you must be very confident to do that. Staking yields are stable, but locking up for so long feels not worth it. Large funds are deploying, retail investors are still debating when to buy. With so much ETH poured in, liquidity might deteriorate. Looking at this trend, will Ethereum take off in 2025? Bitmine is betting on Ethereum's future, but the chances of betting wrong are also quite high. Everyone says institutions are optimistic about the fundamentals, but the price still hasn't shown much improvement.

Large investors are accumulating again, this time directly locking in 350 million, impressive. Bitmine's move this time is truly a gamble that ETH can rise, pouring real money into it. As for staking, it depends on whether the yield is worth it; anyway, I'm trapped haha. The institutional bottom-fishing rhythm is back, retail investors should be panicking... 97.6 million in hand, the next step depends on whether they can rally the market, otherwise it will be under long-term pressure. These kinds of moves look intimidating, but the real factor that can change expectations still depends on the price. Staking contracts have added another 350 million... could this instead increase selling pressure?

Large institutions are疯狂抄底, retail investors are still hesitating, what a gap Bitmine's move is quite aggressive, locking in 352 million directly, not afraid of risks at all I'm optimistic, but I'm worried I don't have enough bullets Large institutions are making big purchases and pledges, what does that mean... it means someone has already gone all in It's another story of big institutions布局, when can we small investors catch this train Buying over 97 million ETH in one go, is it real? This courage is unmatched With such attractive pledge yields, no wonder they can't sit still

Even fools can see it—Ethereum is about to plummet, and institutions are staking to recover their losses.
