New data shows that Ethereum continues to attract institutional investors, as evidenced by increased accumulation and staking.
Institutional Accumulation of Ethereum
According to CryptoQuant, accumulation addresses hold 24.76 million ETH, marking a record level. This growth indicates rising confidence among institutional investors in Ethereum's long-term potential.
Surge in Staking and Long-Term Commitments
As of June 2025, more than 33.6 million ETH are locked in staking contracts, reflecting long-term commitments from investors. This combination of accumulation and staking may signal an approaching bullish breakout.
Observations on Early Investor Behavior
Despite the ongoing accumulation, one early investor has sold 501 ETH, which is part of a broader pattern of profit-taking that began in 2021. Nevertheless, the investor maintains a holding of ETH valued at approximately $5.85 million.
While some investors take profits, institutional players continue to accumulate ETH, indicating confidence in its future growth.
