Big institutions are just bottom-fishing this time, sweeping in with $80.57 million at once. How calm and steady must their mindset be? 1.7 million ETH staked, betting that Ethereum can really rise.

Over $80 million invested, BitMine really isn't afraid at all. It seems institutions still have confidence in ETH's long-term prospects.

Damn, BitMine's move, they just swept 80.57 million like that? They really treat ETH like cabbage

Institutions are scooping up much faster than us, they've already started stacking

1.7 million tokens staked, this is basically betting on ETH's future, they're really bold
