On-chain data shows that Trend Research has once again taken action, borrowing $20 million USDT from Binance to purchase 6,656 ETH, which was then directly deposited into the Aave V3 protocol. This move indicates the institution's long-term optimism for Ethereum and also reflects asset allocation optimization through lending protocols.

According to position tracking data, Trend Research currently holds a total of 651,310 ETH. Based on the current market price, the total market value has reached approximately $19.1 billion. Such a holding size is quite significant among institutional investors and demonstrates their strong focus on the Ethereum ecosystem. Depositing assets into leading lending protocols like Aave allows for stable returns while maintaining good liquidity, which is a common strategy among large investors.

Position of 1.9 billion dollars, how resilient must that be? If I had that kind of courage, I would have already lost my mind long ago, haha.

This institution really isn't afraid of a market crash, buying so much at once and still daring to hold Aave... If I had this 1.9 billion, I would also dare to gamble.

Institutions are not holding back on bottom-fishing, with an ETH holding of 1.9 billion. This pace is indeed steady.

honestly, let me break this down - if you examine the data, trend research's governance precedent here is actually pretty telling. they're not just hodling, they're actively optimizing their tokenomics framework through aave's voting power dynamics. historically speaking, this kind of move signals institutional confidence in eth's quorum requirements long-term.

Investing 1.9 billion, they must be very optimistic. I also want to get on board.
