At 4:00 PM UTC on March 24, as the market teetered on the edge of hysteria, it spoke not in words but in symbols-a rocket and a lava lamp, no less. The masses, ever hungry for meaning, devoured it with 34,500 views, 598 likes, and 75 retweets, as if it were manna from heaven.
According to a shiny new report from CryptoQuant, some 38.31 million ETH – that’s a hefty 31.4% of the whole shebang – is now locked away in the secret vault of staking.
