According to @rovercrc, a whale purchased approximately 2.5 billion dollars worth of ETH and staked the entire amount in full, as stated in an X post on August 25, 2025.

Source: @rovercrc on X If confirmed, moving such a large ETH position into staking would reduce immediately tradable supply until validators exit, potentially tightening spot liquidity and affecting derivatives basis and funding dynamics.
