Whales are collecting ETH like crazy!
Ethereum resumed its recovery run after witnessing a heavy drop in 2022. As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, the Ethereum price has increased by about 37% in the last 60 days. However, the latest report suggests that the crypto market may be on the verge of progress. According to a report by Santiment, Ethereum has been under the radar since the beginning of 2023. ETH continued to break its 7-year record over the weekend without making much noise, with the top 10 non-swap addresses crossing 25 million ETH. This is the first time since 2016, and it directly shows the whales in motion.
But some experts are expected to call this move ETH centralization. According to the data, on February 26, 2023, the largest exchange address was holding about 7.41 million Ethereum. Santiment also notes that the number of major whale addresses is in a steady decline. The data shows that there are only 124 addresses holding 100k or more Ethereum. This was recorded as the lowest level since November 2018. This statistic peaked at 176 in July 2019.
Leading altcoin price on the rise
Ethereum price has increased by about 37% in the last 60 days. ETH is trading at an average price of $1,640 at press time. 24-hour trading volume increased 14% to $7.05 billion. However, it is about to surpass the $200 billion market cap level.
The Santiment report also notes that ETH spent appears to be dominant at the moment. The data shows that as of now, it is expanding its lead over Wrapped ETH, USD Coin (USDC) and Tether (USDT). However, the increase in USDT and USDC Ethereum spent is a good sign for the markets, according to experts. Because this may indicate that the crypto market is on the verge of recovery.
