Tom Lee's BitMine fund has just invested $88.1 million to build a position in Ethereum. What signal does this big move release? From on-chain data, such institutional-level spot purchases usually indicate an optimistic expectation for the short-term market. Although the scale of $88.1 million may not directly shake the market, from a psychological perspective, the holdings behavior of well-known investors often reinforces market sentiment. As the second-largest public chain ecosystem, Ethereum has always been a key focus for institutions allocating encryption assets. This transaction reflects the recognition of large funds regarding Ethereum's fundamentals in the current market environment - whether it is the development of ecological applications or the expectations for staking returns. It is worth paying attention to whether similar actions will trigger more institutions to follow suit.

Here we go again, it's the same narrative of "institutional entry = favourable information". I just want to ask, did ETH also rise the last time Tom Lee was bullish? Now building a position of 88.1 million, is this to buy the dip or catch a falling knife...

88.1 million sounds a lot, but can it really make a difference... the psychological effect is greater than the actual impact, right?
