48,600 ETH worth $110.7M staked in Beacon Depositor from unknown wallets

Unknown wallets have staked 48,600 ETH (~$110.7M) to the Beacon Depositor, reducing liquid supply and signaling longer-term holding. The move has market participants watching short-term price probability markets — Polymarket’s “Will Ethereum reach $4,000 in April?” sits at 33% YES — and could influence price if trading volume picks up. With reported 24-hour Polymarket volume at $0 and a thin order book, the article notes a single large order could swing odds, creating a window for traders to reposition ahead of broader market reaction. Key near-term catalysts to monitor include protocol updates, comments from Vitalik Buterin, and SEC regulatory announcements, any of which could move sentiment before the market fully prices in the staking flow.
