Di announcement beta good for Ethereum liquidity and fit increase ETH demand for medium term because dem go redirect staked treasury capital enter active DeFi yield. But di fund size ($125M total) small well, e no go change ETH supply/demand balance sharply for immediate term, and di snapshot wey article mention show say ETH don already down that day. Net effect na stable, long-term institutional adoption signal, no be clear short-term catalyst.
