Interestingly, small investors are showing more interest in Ethereum as whales sell. According to on-chain tracker Glassnode, the number of Ethereum addresses with balances has reached an all-time high of 104,794,621.
The rise in the number of wallets with altcoins indicates that small investors are active. However, crypto exchange data points to a possible sell-off for ETH. The amount of ETH entering the exchanges reached the peak of the last 1 month with 9 million 630 thousand.
Falling gas fees point to a slowdown in Ethereum network activity and stagnation in the NFT market. Gas fees, which are shaped according to the law of supply and demand, can reach astronomical figures if the ETH network is dense.
