• Consensys buys $320 million worth of Ethereum
• Ethereum is transferred via Galaxy Digital
• Staking with Liquid Collective strengthens company strategy

Ethereum infrastructure development company Consensys has made a significant $320 million acquisition of ETH, strengthening its position in the cryptocurrency space. The funds were transferred via Galaxy Digital’s OTC platform to a new address under the company’s control.

Part of the amount, equivalent to US$120 million, was directed to staking operations via Liquid Collective. The movement signals a long-term strategy by Consensys, which has been treating Ethereum as the main asset in its institutional treasury.

Under the leadership of Joseph Lubin, the company has stood out as an active agent in structuring the Ethereum ecosystem. “The technology is no longer speculative. It is operational,” said the founder, reiterating the company’s confidence in the consolidation of Ethereum as a key piece for decentralized applications.

Staking also reinforces the commitment to network security and block validation, core elements of the Proof-of-Stake consensus model. The choice of Liquid Collective indicates a preference for solutions that offer greater flexibility and institutional control over staked assets.

Although no market authority has made any public statements about the transaction, the community has interpreted the move as a positive sign. Large allocations by institutional players usually generate expectations of appreciation, as has happened on other occasions in the cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum is currently trading at $2.626,93, accumulating a 48% increase in value over the last 30 days.
