BitMine Bolsters Ethereum Holdings as Retail Money Flows to Opter

Source Cryptopolitan

Bitmine just revealed that it now holds 3.5 million ETH. Experts are buzzing about this accumulation as it may drive market sentiment to ETH. But savvy minds are pointing to something else.

Retail money is flowing into $OPTER, a presale coin from Opter, the platform that fuses centralized and decentralized experience. 

Opter: Gamified trading with rewards

Opter is gaining traction as a decentralized perpetuals exchange that blends the speed of centralized platforms with the transparency and security of on-chain settlements. Why settle for holding ETH when you can leverage and trade it on Opter?

It isn’t just about perpetual trading and the power of leverage. The real fun is in the dual nature of Opter. Traders experience the speed and swift order executions of centralized exchanges, but the holders can trade directly from their wallets without KYC, just like a decentralized one.

A standout feature is the Opter XP System, which rewards users depending on their trade volume, position duration, and profitability. Users level up to unlock fee discounts, staking boosts, and seasonal airdrop rewards, turning trading into a skill based progression game.

The presale allows participants to acquire $OPTER tokens either through direct purchase or by trading on the platform. Traders can rack up 1200 $OPTER for every $100,000 worth of trades. With over $132 million in trading volume, Opter is already demonstrating traction and providing major crypto like leveraged ETH as an active way to earn rewards beyond traditional holding.

BitMine: Passive ETH growth and yield

BitMine is one of the largest ETH holders, and its recent announcement of nesting 3.5 million ETH has raised many eyebrows. With the recent market dips, BitMine has seen it as the perfect opportunity to swell its coffers.

Holding 3.5 million ETH in its reserves demonstrates the potential of simply holding Ethereum in a strategic, large scale position. This massive accumulation has led many traders to reconsider their own Ethereum exposure, realizing that long-term holding can generate significant upside without active trading.

Even then, retail money has not moved into Ethereum as one may expect. While the BitMine move does show that it expects the second largest crypto’s value to appreciate, traders are still preferring Opter, the decentralized perpetuals exchange, which rewards active participation and trading skills. 

ETH may appreciate, but not like Opter

Ethereum is the largest DeFi ecosystem, home to DEXs, NFTs, and a host of GameFi platforms. As such, BitMine’s recent acquisitions are a clear signal that it expects ETH to grow much further.

While small and large traders can take advantage of this and get into ETH right now, with potentially significant profits. Smart traders are looking to open leveraged positions. Smarter traders are using the dual natured Opter exchange to open long positions. The security of decentralized trading, while having the ease and speed of centralized ones, is simply too attractive. 

But the real smart trader? They are going for $OPTER, the native token of Opter. The reasons are clear. The Opter token gives access not only to leveraged trading for ETH and other tokens across different networks, but also offers discounts and rewards for active traders, security through audited smart contracts, and (the best part), its presale season.

Early participants have already secured their $OPTER through trading and direct buys. Will you let this opportunity pass?
