Here's what happened when BitMine locked 84% of its treasury into staking.
Many traders get excited about staking rewards but fail to account for the illiquidity that hits when prices reverse and they cannot exit in time. That can turn paper gains into realized losses overnight.
BitMine put 5.07 million $ETH to work, covering 84% of their holdings and aiming for $363 million in yearly staking income. That yield looks appealing until you consider the unbonding delays.
Large $ETH positions cannot be freed instantly, especially if $BTC related expenses demand immediate cash or they decide to shift into $USDT. A sudden $ETH correction would trap them in a losing position with no quick way out.
Slashing risks and changing staking economics only add to the potential downside that the headline numbers hide.
Where do you think this strategy leads if volatility returns?
