Ethereum PoS staking ecosystem makes another big move. According to on-chain data, a well-known staking institution has accumulated over 1.03 million ETH, worth more than $3.2 billion, surpassing the 1 million mark in one go.

What does this number mean? The institution currently holds over 4.14 million ETH, with a quarter already staked, indicating a very strong confidence in the Ethereum ecosystem.

Interestingly, due to the continuous staking by large institutions, over 1.77 million ETH are now queued to be staked—this shows the market's optimistic outlook on Ethereum's long-term returns. On the withdrawal side, the queue has been cleared, meaning that at this stage, no one is rushing to withdraw their staked ETH.

This situation of simultaneous staking and queuing, with no one exiting, reveals a certain consensus among market participants about Ethereum's future trend—at least in the short term, the continued staking yields are widely viewed positively.

ETH-0,78%

Institutions are piling up ETH, what does this mean... Is it about to take off again? --- Exports are cleared, entrances are blocked, this scene looks very bleak --- 1.03 million coins? Damn, this number is really outrageous. Are they serious or just gambling with such a heavy bet? --- Queue of 1.77 million coins, I just want to ask, will this be another prelude to being trapped... --- No one exits, which is ridiculous. Anyway, I don't have the courage to wait and see --- Such a long staking queue... could it just be a trap? --- It looks bleak, but I still can't trust the institution's methods --- Wait, is this about ETH going up or are the big players all caught inside... --- Institutions have stacked up to 1 million coins, I should hold my ETH a bit longer --- If this operation ends with a dump, that would be really ironic --- The queue is completely blocked, indicating everyone is betting on the same thing. Isn't this the most dangerous signal? --- No withdrawals mean all are long bulls, so exciting

1.03 million ETH have all been invested, that shows strong confidence... The detail of clearing the exit queue is excellent, indicating everyone is holding. 1.77 million waiting in line to enter, this pace seems a bit off. As for staking rewards, it looks quite attractive in the short term, but I'm worried there might be some volatility someday. 4.14 million in holdings, these institutions are quite bold in their bets. It's just one enters and one queues up, with no one exiting? That's a bit strange...

The data looks impressive, but I need to pour some cold water—1.03 million tokens sounds like a lot, but is it really enough within the entire Ethereum ecosystem? That said, the idea of clearing the exit queue is indeed interesting, maybe it's just not at the pain point yet.

1.03 million tokens? With this move by the big players, it seems they've truly gone all in on Ethereum. No one is selling off, this signal definitely indicates something. If the staking rewards plummet this time, wouldn't that be awkward... Waiting in the queue until it reaches 1.77 million, indicating that some people are still optimistic about the future market. Institutions are pouring in so much money, what can retail investors do? They can only follow the trend.

Institutions are piling up crazily, while retail investors are still on the sidelines. This is the current scene. Wait, 1.77 million in line to enter... this number is a bit scary. Are you really not afraid of a crash? To put it simply, big players are betting on ETH going up. I really don’t understand where this confidence comes from. Instead of exiting, everyone wants to buy in. Either they are really optimistic, or they are all trapped. Haha. 1.03 million coins have broken through... Oh my god, how much is that worth? Our combined monthly salaries are not even enough to buy a fraction of that.

1.03 million coins? How can you stash so much? I wouldn't even hesitate to stake 0.1 haha --- Wait, no one is exiting? Is this a good thing or are we trapped? --- 1.77 million in line, this will take forever, might as well go solo directly --- Big players are betting and rushing in, this momentum is really fierce --- One word: FOMO, everyone’s going crazy --- Clearing the queue and exiting? Feels a bit strange, could it really be that there's no end in sight? --- 3.2 billion invested, that’s impressive, but what about the risk? --- Staking yields are indeed attractive, but what do these institutions really believe in? --- The 1.77 million coins waiting in line are even more impressive, do they truly believe or have no other options?

1.03 million tokens? Is this institution really all in? They've committed a quarter of their holdings, their guts are extraordinary. 1.77 million in line... Wait, no one is exiting? That's a bit intimidating. Are staking yields really that attractive? It seems like everyone is betting on the price going up later. If this move fails, the institution will be crying their eyes out.
