According to data from IntoTheBlock, since March, the total number of ETH holdings of Ethereum giant whale addresses (holdings in the range of 10,000 to 100,000 coins) has increased from 28.3 million to 29 million, showing an overall upward trend. In addition, the number of addresses holding 1-10 ETH increased from 1.14 million to 1.19 million. The analysis pointed out that the above data may indicate that Ethereum has entered the accumulation stage.

Analysis: "Ethereum Beacon Chain Block Reorganization" Scenario Won't Happen After Merge
Regarding the reorganization of 7 blocks in the Ethereum beacon chain on May 25, encryption researcher Barnabé Monnot published an article analyzing that this situation will not happen after the implementation of POS in Ethereum. Reorganizations highlight a failure case of dynamically available chains that are theoretically possible but practically unthinkable, just as long-term reorganizations are possible in proof-of-work but rarely seen in practice (unless is a hostile act). It must therefore be recognized that the contributing factors to the present restructuring are purely accidental. If all validators were running the same configuration, the problem wouldn't happen, especially not after the merge. Because all validating nodes must undergo a hard fork before merging, otherwise they will be completely excluded from the consensus.
