Some major players holding heavyweight ETH positions in the market have recently shown interesting moves. The previous frantic accumulation pace has clearly slowed down, with last week's increase dropping to a new low—only adding 44,000 ETH.

What’s even more noteworthy is that these big players have publicly announced for the first time that some of their assets have entered the staking ecosystem. This is not just a change in action but more like a shift in mindset.

According to subsequent plans disclosed, they will focus on building their own staking infrastructure. The logic is straightforward—since they plan to hold such a large amount of ETH long-term, they might as well set up their own nodes, allowing these assets to appreciate through staking. Staking their own ETH to their own nodes continuously generates new ETH rewards.

The shift from aggressive accumulation in the past to staking operations now reflects a deep psychological adjustment among market participants. They are no longer solely focused on profits from price increases but are beginning to explore the value-added potential generated by holding the assets themselves.
