Here's the English translation:
Recently, a peculiar "siege" scenario unfolded on the Ethereum beacon chain. Outside, over $1.3 billion worth of ETH queued for 6 days, anxiously waiting to become network validators; inside, an "army" of nearly $1.9 billion, approximately 519,000 ETH, waited on a congested one-way road for 9 days to exit. This massive exit wave almost perfectly replicated the validator exodus triggered by Celsius's bankruptcy liquidation in January 2024.
The historical similarities always inspire imagination. As observed, such concentrated large-scale exits make it hard not to suspect a unified action by a single whale or institution. The market is permeated with unease: Is another giant about to fall? Or is an early investor executing an epic profit-taking at a high price?
However, unlike the panicked scene during the Celsius event where exit queues were sparse and entry was scarce, this "Exodus" is accompanied by an equally surging "Promised Land" entry wave. This large-scale bidirectional flow, like a prism, reflects a far more complex structural transformation within the Ethereum ecosystem than mere "dumping" or "escaping". It's not a crisis signal, but more like a carefully planned capital redeployment, a profound game revolving around profits, ambitions, and technological paradigms.

Summary
Looking back at the bustling landscape on the Beacon Chain, we see not just simple capital fluctuations, but a symphony of a maturing ecosystem evolving in multiple dimensions. Profit-taking is the normal rhythm of the market, institutional influx brings new scale and compliance, reStaking innovations build new risks and opportunities on top of value, and the core protocol steadily improves itself under these collective effects.
This long queue is less a risk alarm and more the best proof of ETH's vitality and attractiveness. The challenges it brings - whether the centralization concerns potentially triggered by ETFs and LRTs, or the stacked risks of reStaking - are the "luxurious troubles" only a successful, widely adopted platform would face. As optimists like BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes have foreseen, ETH's journey is boundless. And its ultimate test currently lies in how to maintain its decentralized and secure foundation while managing this increasingly prosperous and complex ecosystem.
