Originally launched in 2020, the Beacon Chain serves as the consensus layer of the Ethereum network while also being responsible for the validation of newly created blocks.
Although not as popular as Lido Finance [LDO] and Coinbase, Binance rebranded Beacon Chain for ETH staking in April. In a statement released the same month, the exchange noted that Wrapped Beacon ETH (WBETH) would be the new liquid staking token.
At the time, the exchange had also noted that the value of WBETH would increase in line with the daily annual percentage rate (APR) of ETH staking.
That’s why this whale transfer suggests that the exchange’s decision may have improved staking on the platform.
Santiment’s data shows that Ether deposits on the Beacon chain have not had a stable direction. At the time of writing, deposits had dropped to 10,900 ETH. This implies that, despite the whale transfer, the general interest in committing ETH and validating transactions has not been impressive.
Despite the decrease in deposits, withdrawals did not follow with an increase. At the time of writing, Ether is retreating to the beacon chain stood at 2,784 ETH.

When comparing both deposits and withdrawals, one can conclude that validators were more convinced of the long-term value of ETH wagering than of short-term performance.
However, it is worth noting that most of the ETH and staked Ether deposits were not on exchanges. According to Santiment, the supply of ETH on exchanges was 11.14 million. On the other hand, the supply outside the exchanges was ten times greater exchange offer.
At 113.52 million, the off-exchange supply showed that participants prefer to hold ETH in-house or wager on decentralized platforms.
