Another interesting move has been spotted. A well-known investment firm's research institution has been continuously increasing its holdings over the past two days, just this afternoon acquiring another 20,850 ETH, worth $63.28 million. They also withdrew another $40 million USDT from a lending protocol and transferred it to a leading exchange.
This combination of moves is quite clear—they are using leverage to repeatedly buy the dip. Currently, this institution has accumulated a total of 601,076 ETH through leveraged borrowing, with a total value of $1.82 billion. Their average cost basis is certainly not low, but their continued accumulation indicates they still have strong confidence in the market's future.
Interestingly, once large holders start using leverage for borrowing, it’s hard to stop, and their subsequent actions are worth watching closely.

This leverage strategy is quite aggressive; a bet of 1.8 billion USD requires a strong confidence in the market to dare to do this.
Dads, this move clearly looks like a bottom-fishing attempt. Once the borrowing leverage is activated, it can't be stopped.
Wait, what is the actual average cost? Feels a bit uncertain.
It's the same old trick again—big players borrow to buy up the tokens and then dump, forcing retail investors to take the hit.
Six million ETH tokens... if there's a reverse operation later, it will have to be pretty fierce.

Oh my, is this trying to dump or pump? I can't quite understand it.

Are you starting to leverage again? Dare to put in 1.8 billion?

Large investors' leverage through borrowing really can't be stopped. If it collapses later, how disastrous would it be?

This move... investing 1.8 billion, really damn ambitious. Are they betting on the future market?
