The leading institution BitMNR, which has been quietly holding Ethereum, has recently made a big move. They transferred 74,880 ETH into the Ethereum PoS staking contract 50 minutes ago, worth approximately $217 million. This transfer also marks their first involvement in staking activities.

According to on-chain data, BitMNR currently holds 4.066 million ETH. Based on the current annualized yield (APY) of about 3.12%, if all these assets are staked, they could earn approximately $1.268 million in interest income annually — a significant passive income for any institution.

From simply holding coins to participating in the staking ecosystem, this shift indicates that institutions are beginning to engage more deeply in Ethereum's ecosystem operations. Under the PoS consensus, staking not only generates yields but also directly supports network security. The participation of such major players further stabilizes Ethereum’s long-term ecosystem foundation.

Damn, 4.06 million ETH, what scale is this? The staking interest almost exceeds my net worth. BitMNR is really starting to benefit from staking rewards. Going from dead holding to earning interest—now that's playing smart. At 3.12%, that's a stable income of $1.26 million a year. I damn well work for a year, and I wouldn't even get this much. Institutions are starting to take PoS seriously, which shows the ecosystem is indeed moving toward greater stability. But on the other hand... big players are eating the meat, how much soup can retail investors sip? Anyway, I'm just watching. When there's a chance, I might also stake what I have.

slashing risk tho... BitMNR testing waters with only ~2% of their stack? smart move honestly, but let's see if they actually go all-in or just farming APY like everyone else

The actions of big players are the best signals. This wave truly shows confidence in the long term. Institutions are starting to stake, which means we should seriously pay attention to this ecosystem. 126,800 annual interest, retail investors can't envy this... Wait, could this be a preparation for a major event?

Whoa, 4.06 million ETH, now that's true faith. Staking directly for yield, no wonder. --- Big institutions are starting to stake, it seems everyone recognizes the long-term holding logic. I should follow suit. --- Annual interest of $1.268 million? This passive income is incredible, feeling like earning while lying down. --- From hoarding coins to staking, this is the awakening of institutional players. When can we retail investors catch up? --- What does BitMNR's move indicate? The Ethereum ecosystem is stable. --- Earning over a million dollars in interest annually—that's real financial freedom. How can I not participate in staking? --- I'm a bit puzzled. Why did such a large amount only now touch staking for the first time? What was it doing before? --- Having quietly hoarded for so many years, suddenly taking action to stake. The logic of big institutions always leads us by a step.

4.06 million ETH, I really can't hold it anymore. Staking yields generate an annual passive income of $1.26 million. How can I compare this passive income to it?
