A certain research institution continues to increase its Ethereum positions, recently withdrawing an additional $19.77 million worth of ETH from a major exchange within the last 5 minutes, and then transferring it into the Aave protocol as collateral for lending. In just the past 7 hours, the institution has accumulated a total of 27,598 ETH, corresponding to a capital scale of $83.05 million.

On-chain data shows that its total holdings have expanded to 607,598 ETH, with an asset total value of $1.77 billion. Interestingly, the institution's average cost basis is approximately $3,111, and based on the current price, the unrealized loss amounts to $117 million. This series of actions reflects that large-scale funds are continuously optimistic about Ethereum's medium-term trend, while also achieving efficient capital allocation through DeFi protocols.

ETH-3,06%

AAVE-4,13%

Large funds are still疯狂 accumulating ETH, are they betting on ETH's comeback? --- Unrealized loss of 117 million still daring to add positions, I really can't learn this kind of confidence --- Wait, the holding cost is 3111... what is it now? Feeling a bit sorry for this guy --- Using DeFi lending as a strategy, really knows how to play --- 607,598 ETH, if they push the market hard enough... --- $19.77 million in 5 minutes, anyone would be trembling at this trading volume --- Losing so much and still pouring in money, either truly believes in Ethereum or is trapped and dead, haha --- Looking at this move, is he planning to use ETH to earn interest and survive the winter? --- On-chain whales are playing a big game, and we small retail investors can only watch the show

Big institutions are heavily accumulating at the bottom this wave, not afraid of floating losses of over 100 million, their mentality is really strong.

Big players are so aggressive, losing 117 million but still adding positions... Truly believers --- This rhythm, either bottom-fishing or crazy --- Over 600,000 ETH, who is this? Having so much money is really awesome --- Playing lending arbitrage so skillfully? DeFi strategies are getting more and more complicated --- Losing money but still pouring in, I just can't understand this logic --- Wait, is this cost basis only 3111? When did you buy it, during the financial crisis? --- Position of 1.77 billion, just add more when needed... This is real wealth --- Institutions are playing chess, and we are watching the game, feeling a bit powerless --- DeFi lending is getting new tricks, is it safe to use like this? --- Floating loss of over 100 million and still not out, either true faith or true foolishness

This move by the big players is really ruthless. They've already lost 117 million but still dare to keep accumulating. Their confidence must be incredibly strong.
