Trend Research recently withdrew 20,850 ETH from Binance as the market observes an aggressive institutional Ethereum accumulation by various financial giants. According to journalist Anas Hassan, these corporate treasury operations are driving the asset price toward critical resistance levels at this time. The strategy includes using stablecoin loans to maximize exposure ahead of an imminent recovery of the digital market.
Trend Research, the institutional arm of Easy Come Easy Go, executed the withdrawal of 63.28 million dollars in Ether this Sunday. Likewise, the organization requested an additional 40 million dollar loan in USDT through Aave to finance new acquisitions in the price support zone effectively. Currently, the firm controls more than 601,074 tokens with a market value close to two billion dollars today.
On the other hand, BitMine Immersion Technologies injected 780 million dollars into the network participation contract this past weekend. In this way, Tom Lee’s company consolidates itself as the largest Ether treasury holder on a global level by far. Institutions are taking advantage as the validator entry queue exceeded 745,000 locked assets during recent sessions.
Will this institutional flow manage to triple the total value locked during the year 2026?
The staking dynamics on the network have shifted drastically in favor of validators for the first time in six months. Therefore, retail selling pressure is being rapidly absorbed by digital treasuries seeking consistent passive yields. Technical analysts suggest that a daily close above 3,000 dollars could catapult the price toward new local highs very soon. The blockchain infrastructure allows these large capitals to be secured through decentralized protocols.
In addition, Joseph Chalom from Sharplink Gaming predicts that the total value locked (TVL) could grow tenfold in the short term. Nevertheless, this growth will depend on the massive issuance of stablecoins and asset tokenization from the real world. So the ecosystem is preparing for an institutional expansion phase without any historical precedents. This trend reflects the growing interest of sovereign wealth funds in the main smart contract network.
Is Ethereum’s growth sustainable against the volatility of the Bitcoin cycle?
The market has harshly punished traders who held short positions during the final days of recent trading activity. For this reason, a prominent investor recently closed a bearish position assuming a millionaire loss after the underlying asset price rebound occurred. Likewise, the scarcity of supply on centralized exchange platforms favors the continuation of the bullish structure.
Finally, the success of this corporate strategy will depend on global macroeconomic stability and new application adoption. Therefore, analysts maintain a close watch on the wallets of the most active institutional whales. The future of the network will depend on the sustained balance between security and decentralization. Large capitals will continue to dominate liquidity flows across all major digital markets.
