– Is institutional players returning to Ethereum?

Sharplink Gaming earned 443 ETH in staking rewards last week, bringing their total participation to 7,846 ETH.

What do the recent moves of large ETH holders signal?

One of the first investors got rid of 20,000 ETH, while another wallet withdrew 3,089 ETH and another whale bought 1,110 ETH with $67.8 million in DAI.

There has been a lot of activity on Ethereum lately.

Rewards from steaking are increasing, large addresses are becoming active again, and institutions that waited at the beginning of the year are suddenly willing to join.

Here’s a closer look.

Recent reports from Sharplink Gaming Inc., which operates the Ethereum [ETH] treasury, make one thing clear: demand for ETH is extremely high.

Last week, the company received 443 ETH in staking rewards, bringing the amount to 7,846 ETH since the strategy was launched in June. The charts show a flat rise at first, and then a noticeable acceleration in October.

This shows that the steaking mechanism is working as intended.

On the other hand, there is an indirect increase in interest from institutional investors. The number of holders of Sharplink’s SBET shares rose from 40 in the second quarter to 138 in the third quarter, an increase of 245% . This shows that the big players are looking to capitalize on ETH returns regardless of price fluctuations.

AMBCrypto previously reported that BitMine, the largest ETH treasury holder in the world, recently purchased 69,822 ETH in just one week, increasing its reserves to 3.63 million ETH and driving its shares up 20 percent.

There has been a general increase in institutional demand for all Ethereum-related assets.

Meanwhile, an early Ethereum investor just realized 20,000 ETH through FalconX. This was a small fraction of their original ICO funds, which are now valued at $757 million.

the same time, the new wallet took 3,089 ETH from Bybit, most likely for long-term storage.

And after several months of lull, another major player returned to the market, buying 1,110 ETH, even after previously selling significant amounts at higher quotes. They still have $67.8 million in DAI at their disposal, ready for further acquisitions.
