Recently, many people have been discussing ETH allocation strategies, and one idea is quite interesting.

From a yield model perspective, suppose you open a position when ETH is at $3,000, locking in a fixed annual staking yield of 3%. When the price rises to $9,000, the USD-denominated staking yield can increase to 9%. The clever part of this logic is — even if the price pulls back later, the accumulated staking rewards can offset the floating losses on the fiat side, making time your ally.

For institutional investors, ETH's role has evolved beyond just a trading asset. Professional institutions like BitMine view ETH as an asset-liability management tool. It combines technological attributes with high growth potential, making its valuation logic somewhat similar to the current high P/E AI concept stocks — both racing against time, with those who can deploy early gaining a cyclical advantage.

In the long term, staking opens up the possibility of breaking free from pure price volatility and compensating for risks through income streams. What do you all think of this approach?
