Bitmine linked to Tom Lee stakes 154,208 ETH in 6 hours, total 1.344M ETH locked — trading impact on ETH liquidity and staking yields

According to @lookonchain, Bitmine associated with Tom Lee (@fundstrat) staked another 154,208 ETH (about $478.77M) in the past 6 hours, bringing its total staked to 1,344,224 ETH (about $4.17B), source: @lookonchain; Arkham Intelligence. The on-chain attribution and transaction footprints are referenced to Arkham Intelligence’s Bitmine entity page, supporting the reported staking volumes and consolidated validator holdings, source: Arkham Intelligence. Because ETH committed to validators is not immediately transferable until withdrawal/exit procedures are completed, large-scale staking like this reduces the immediately tradable float during the staking period, which traders track when assessing liquidity and basis dynamics, source: ethereum.org (staking and withdrawals documentation).
