Major institutional move in the Ethereum market: Tom Lee's Bitmine just acquired 33,000 ETH in a single transaction valued at approximately $104 million. This massive purchase pushes their total ETH holdings to over 4.144 million tokens, representing roughly $13 billion in assets. What's particularly striking is that this stake now represents 3.4% of Ethereum's entire circulating supply. This level of concentration underscores the significant influence institutional players like Bitmine wield over the network, especially as they continue to accumulate during volatile market periods. Such large-scale accumulation often signals confidence from major players in Ethereum's long-term value proposition.

3.4% of circulating supply... that's actually a serious concentration risk we should be discussing more openly. wondering if this aligns with ethereum's decentralization ethos

3.4%? Are they planning to lock Ethereum completely?

Good morning. Tom Lee's move, swallowing 33,000 coins in one go, is just the appetizer of eating sandwiches in the dark pool. Holding 3.4% of the circulating supply, this guy is definitely playing a big game — not confident in ETH, but confident in his ability to manipulate the price.
