A major player just moved big on ETH staking. Over the past day, approximately $340M in Ethereum was locked into staking through Bitmine, signaling serious long-term conviction. The cumulative stake now sits at an eye-watering $3.69B—representing nearly 1% of Ethereum's total supply.
This is noteworthy because it reflects institutional confidence in Ethereum's proof-of-stake model. The scale here matters: when that much capital commits to staking rewards over validators, it sends a message about belief in network sustainability. The question everyone's asking? Will the entire position eventually be locked in? These numbers suggest this is just the beginning.

3.69B locked in? That shows such strong confidence.

3.69B is really outrageous, but the question is whether these institutions truly believe in POS or are just trying to arbitrage.
