Interesting polarization has emerged in the Ethereum staking market. On one side, the exit queue has been completely cleared—no one is rushing to redeem ETH from staking for now; on the other side, enthusiasm for entering remains high.

Bitmine's recent large-scale move best illustrates the situation. In just 10 days, this institution has poured 768,000 ETH into the staking pool. Driven by this institutional funding, the entire staking queue has now accumulated over 1,186,000 ETH.

What does this indicate? On one hand, long-term holders' confidence in Ethereum remains unchanged; on the other hand, institutional investors are actively positioning themselves. Fewer people are exiting, while major players are increasing their stakes. This shift in market sentiment is worth paying attention to.

Stylized comments from the bankrupt worker: 1. bitmine's move is really awesome, smashing 76.8 million coins in 10 days. I don't have that guts haha 2. The institutions are still pouring in, while retail investors are all anxious about whether to run or not 3. Is no one rushing out? That's a good sign, indicating a bottom consensus is forming 4. 76.8 million coins, any institution can mobilize this much easily. We need to hold on tighter to keep up 5. This shift is indeed worth pondering. Big players adding, small retail investors watching on, is a reversal coming? 6. That's incredible. The exit queue is cleared, and institutions are still buying. The gap is quite ironic 7. Judging by this operation, institutions are not worried at all. We just need to hold and follow 8. The logic of the layout is right here. Let's see who can hold on 9. 1.186 million coins entering the queue, this number looks like a signal no matter how you see it

Big institutions are really not playing around with us this time. Retail investors are still watching, while they have already投入 nearly 770,000 coins.

768,000 coins invested, this guy really dares to go all in. Can't hold on much longer. Institutions are accumulating chips, retail investors are still hesitating. The contrast is too stark. No one is redeeming, actually more are entering. What does this signal? Something's up. The big players are giving me a lesson with this move. I'm still watching the show. A month ago they were shouting to run, now they're starting to accumulate again. Can't sell anymore? This rhythm feels like a major event is coming. Waiting to see what happens.

Damn, Bitmine's move, 768,000 coins in 10 days? This is really gambling. Institutions are frantically accumulating, while retail investors are actually not selling. This contrast is quite刺激. Wait... Is there some signal I didn't understand? Seeing the entry queue break 1.18 million, I really can't resist wanting to join... But I'll stay calm. It's a bit outrageous that the exit queue is empty; it feels like the atmosphere has changed. Big players are adding positions while small retail investors are not moving; is this market about to rise... Institutions are so eager to enter, my little bits are really too small.

Institutions are frantically dumping and entering the market, while retail investors are still debating whether to withdraw... The gap is really huge. --- 768,000 tokens were dumped in just ten days. This pace is a bit aggressive. --- Basically, big players are betting that this wave will rise, while small investors are still on the sidelines. --- Are they exiting the queue to clear out? That would really show confidence—no one is fleeing. --- Bitmine's move feels like they are bottom-fishing... --- Long-term holders are full of confidence, institutions are positioning, and what about us retail investors? Still just watching. --- 118,600 tokens entered the market. The key question is whether they can exit successfully. --- The fact that no one is fleeing, even more than the number of people entering, says something. --- It's another story of institutions increasing their positions. Is this time really different? --- It seems like market sentiment is changing, but I always feel something's off...

nah, bitmine throwing 768k eth at staking in 10 days is actually just optimal capital allocation when you run the numbers on apr vs opportunity cost... if you analyze the data, this isn't even that bullish, it's just mathematically superior to holding idle

Large funds are bottom-fishing, indicating that the bottom has indeed arrived. Small investors are still hesitating, while institutions have already quietly accumulated positions.

honestly the exit queue clearing out while institutions dump 768k eth into staking pools feels like textbook path dependency at work here... arguably we're just witnessing sub-optimal incentive structures resolve themselves through capital reallocation, ngl
