BitMine Immersion Technologies said it unveiled its Ethereum staking platform MAVAN on Wednesday, after reporting 3,142,643 ETH staked as of Tuesday, 24 March. The firm said it held 4.6 million ETH (about 3.8% of total supply) and plans to stake the full balance, citing a potential $300M in annual revenue at a 2.83% 7-day BMNR yield. It added that an extra 5 million ETH would still be needed to overtake Lido, which was reported to have nearly 9 million ETH staked.
