[Chain News] On-chain data shows that an Ethereum ICO early address, which had been silent for a full decade, has recently taken new action. This address transferred 40,000 ETH and did not choose to cash out, but instead invested this asset worth approximately $120 million into ETH 2.0 staking.
It should be noted that those who were able to participate in Ethereum during the ICO period were basically the earliest believers in the industry. After ten years of inactivity, suddenly starting again and choosing to stake rather than sell conveys some signals. After all, staking means a lock-up period, indicating that holders still have confidence in the medium to long-term trend of Ethereum.
The movements of such old addresses are often closely monitored by the market. After all, the volume of 40,000 ETH, whether flowing into exchanges or entering staking pools, can create quite a stir in on-chain data.

Wow, the Whale that has been asleep for ten years directly stakes without dumping? This guy really believes in Ethereum, if it were me, I would have run away long ago.

actually, let me push back here—staking moves don't necessarily signal confidence, they signal *yield optimization*. these ancient addresses could just be racking apr while waiting for an exit. the "faith narrative" is kinda comforting fiction tbh, we should be asking *why now* after a decade of dormancy instead of reading tea leaves into staking mechanics.

Once every ten years, this guy really has the patience.

Not selling while staking? It seems they still believe in eth, but I'm different, haha.
---
40,000 coins, this number getting dumped into the staking pool must feel great.
---
The whales are awake, and we retail investors are about to follow suit.
---
Wait a minute, this guy hasn't touched it in ten years, and now suddenly pulls this move? I feel like something's off.

Only true faith allows you to play like this; I've long cut my losses for living expenses.

Not selling and directly staking, this is betting that eth can rise, right?
The Ethereum ICO whale that has been silent for ten years awakens: 40,000 ETH not cashing out, directly staking.
