Family, look! The “buying frenzy” in the crypto world has struck the Ethereum Foundation again. This move is basically a “powerful alliance” between top-tier wealthy investors and core developers. Let’s take a look at this billion-dollar blockbuster:
Bitmine: I’m not just buying coins, I’m buying the entire Ethereum?
Directly “snatching” from the Foundation:
Just now, the U.S. publicly traded company Bitmine ($BMNR) directly took 10,000 ETH from the Ethereum Foundation. An average of $2,292 per ETH, totaling nearly $23 million. It’s like knocking on a five-star hotel owner’s door and saying, “I’m taking all your presidential suites, name your price!”
Staking fanatic’s daily routine:
This guy just bought coins and immediately staked 165k ETH, worth $380 million! Currently, Bitmine has staked over 4.36 million ETH, valued at $165k. The current situation is: Bitmine has become the “super contractor” of the Ethereum network, holding countless validator nodes’ “paychecks.”
Target 5%:
Led by Tom Lee (the guy who’s always bullish on ETH), he’s already announced: Bitmine’s goal is to acquire 5% of the total ETH supply. They’re now racing towards about 4.1%. This “buy, buy, buy” attitude is basically treating Ethereum as the future digital oil reserve.
My spicy commentary:
Many people are obsessing over whether the Ethereum Foundation is selling coins again or dumping. Just look at the operations of giants like Bitmine—you’ll understand: the Foundation sells coins to pay salaries and fund R&D, while these top institutions are grabbing the opportunity to earn long-term “rental income” (staking rewards).
This $10 billion in staked assets isn’t just Bitmine’s muscle; it’s also the “ballast” for Ethereum’s security. When big institutions start treating ETH as a core treasury asset or even prefer OTC deals outside the Foundation, it shows: the game’s class structure has changed.
Brothers, don’t focus on those short-term fluctuations. Keep an eye on these billion-dollar giants—they’re not afraid, so why should you be? Big players are locking up coins like crazy to reduce circulation. Are you still worried about that small sell pressure?
Follow me, and I’ll keep you updated on every move of these “big white sharks” in the crypto world. We may not be the big contractors, but at least we’ll know who the real whales are. Stay steady, we can win. #WCTC交易王PK #美国寻求战略比特币储备 #比特币ETF期权持仓限额增4倍 $ETH $BSB
