The data also shows BitMine staked an additional 118,944 ETH, which is roughly $352 million.

Lee also noted that BitMine added more than 44,000 ETH over the past week alone and has accumulated over 77,400 токенс since last Monday.

Galaxy Trading points to improving momentum on higher timeframes, which means that Ethereum’s relative positioning versus Bitcoin may be stabilizing after a long period of weakness.
