 <p>At the beginning of the month, Sun had already un<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stake" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stake.html">stake</a>d $32.4 million worth of ETH. On Oct. 4, Sun withdrew 19,999 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="stake" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/stake.html">stake</a>d ETH from the Lido Finance platform and sent them to the Binance exchange. It can be assumed that the businessman has sold digital assets or plans to do so in the near future.</p>
 <p>Notably, in early 2023, Lido Finance&nbsp;activated a security feature called Staking Rate Limit. This comes after the platform recorded its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="largest" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/largest.html">largest</a> daily inflow of 150,000 ETH.</p>

 <p>The cap reduced the amount of Staked Ether (StETH) that could be mined at any given time based on deposits over the last 24 hours. At that time, Sun already had more than 150,000 ETH staked on Lido.</p>
 <p>Sun also previously revealed where he stores his bitcoins (BTC). According to him, for ten years, since the founding of the Huobi cryptocurrency exchange, he has stored all his BTC on the platform. Before this, he noted that he controlled over 100,000 bitcoins.</p>
