Pledged $350 million! Are institutions betting real money on ETH's future? Supported by Tom Lee's affiliated Ethereum treasury company Bitmine is increasing its stake again. This morning, Bitmine added approximately $178.42 million worth of ETH; in the past 24 hours, its total staked amount has reached about $354.53 million. This type of operation sends a clear signal: institutions are not only "holding" but also participating in network rewards and ecosystem development through staking. From a logical perspective: large-scale staking = long-term optimism + locking liquidity + earning stable income. As more funds choose to lock up assets, circulating supply in the market decreases, which may potentially support the price.
