Based on current data, the five institutions holding the most reserve Ethereum collectively control 5.56 million ETH, which accounts for over 4.6% of the total supply of Ethereum. Looking at it from another perspective, at the current price levels, these holdings are worth over 16 billion RMB.



Such concentration is actually quite common in crypto assets. Whether driven by strategic planning or long-term optimism, these leading participants' movements often reflect the market's attitude toward Ethereum's fundamentals. Once these major players take action, market fluctuations are unlikely to be small. From the perspective of tokenization and ecosystem expansion, having assets concentrated in capable institutions may actually promote the entire ecosystem toward a more mature direction.

Are the five major institutions holding only 4.6%? This level of concentration is outrageous. How can it still be considered a positive for the ecosystem...

Here we go again with the argument that "concentration is not an issue"... Basically, it means big players call the shots. How are we retail investors supposed to play?

The five major institutions hold 5.56 million ETH. This is truly the modern version of "big whale dominance," hilarious.

Five institutions hold $16 billion worth of ETH. This concentration... to put it simply, it's just about relying on their favor to get by.

Five institutions control 4.6%, and this concentration is outrageous. It feels like they're just waiting for an opportunity to dump.

Five institutions control 4.6%, and it feels like this concentration is quite intense... Once they have any movement, the entire market will be affected.

16 billion USD held by five firms. This concentration is concerning... If there's a dump, us retail investors will have to follow and get buried too.

$16 billion are in the hands of five entities. The concentration... Luckily, these are institutions; retail investors would have been wiped out by now if they dared to hoard like this, haha.

Once again, this old chestnut. Five institutions controlling 4.6% is called high concentration? I think the real issue isn't here, but rather when these institutions will start to sell...
