Are Whales Sniffing Out A Deal? Ethereum Holdings Balloon To 30% – Details

The past few months have seen Ethereum whales, the cryptocurrency world’s Goliaths, flexing their financial muscles. According to a recent report by Santiment, on-chain data reveals a surge in whale activity, possibly fueled by the green light for spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This heightened involvement from large investors adds an additional layer of intrigue to Ethereum’s bullish momentum, suggesting growing confidence and anticipation within the market.

A Whale Of A Time: Accumulation Anchors Ahead

The SEC’s surprise approval on May 23rd of 19b-4 forms for ETF applications from heavyweights like BlackRock and Fidelity stirred the cryptoverse nest. This long-awaited decision, following months of radio silence from regulators, seems to have been the harbinger of a buying spree for Ethereum’s biggest players.

Santiment’s report dives deep, revealing a nearly 30% increase in holdings by wallets containing at least 10,000 ETH over the past 14 months. This translates to a staggering 21 million ETH, currently valued at a cool $83 billion, scooped up by these deep-pocketed investors.

With Ethereum even surpassing Bitcoin in terms of percentage gains last month, it’s no surprise that the accumulation party shows no signs of stopping.

Profit Feast Before The Main Course?

The data suggests a recent uptick in whale transactions exceeding $100,000 and a whopping $1 million, reaching year-to-date highs after the ETF approval. This surge in activity could be interpreted as whales taking advantage of the bullish sentiment to lock in some profits.

However, Santiment suggests this might be a strategic pit stop before diving back into the buying pool. As long as these “10K+ ETH wallets are still moving north,” the report argues, Ethereum’s price has the potential to continue outperforming its bigger brother, Bitcoin, even amidst market volatility.

Profitable Seas For Ethereum Sailors

The good news extends beyond whale activity. An Analysis by NewsBTC revealed a positive trend in daily Ethereum transactions. Measured over a seven-day moving average, the ratio of profitable transactions to those ending in a loss sits at a healthy 1.87. This indicates that for every losing trade, there are nearly two winning ones, suggesting a wave of optimism among Ethereum investors.

At the moment, the price projection for Ethereum in 2025 ranges from $3,716 on the low end to $6,722 on the high side. If ETH hits the higher price objective, Ethereum’s value might increase by 80% by 2025 compared to its current value.

Ethereum has surged by 100% over the past year, outpacing 50% of the top 100 crypto assets. Trading above its 200-day simple moving average, it exhibits a bullish momentum, supported by 17 green days in the last 30, representing 57% of recent trading sessions.

This performance underscores Ethereum’s resilience and attractiveness to investors, bolstered by its high liquidity and negative yearly inflation rate of -0.24%, signaling potential scarcity and value appreciation.

Setup for High-Quality Altcoins Looking Increasingly Favorable As Global Liquidity Gears Up for Expansion: Jamie Coutts

Image
Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts thinks high-quality altcoins could be primed for price surges as global liquidity ramps up. Coutts tells his 18,600 followers on the social media platform X that the market looks close to washed out, global liquidity is about to turn higher and the risk/reward picture looks “increasingly favorable” for high-quality altcoins. “Top 200 Equal Weight vs. market cap weight ratio at extreme bearish levels. Currently, it’s -2.8 standard deviations ~ a bearish extreme that only hit on three previous occasions. • 2021: During a bull market that proved to be an excellent re-up for the cycle. • 2022: prematurely, but close to the cycle lows when the market was 70% down. • 2023: Near the SEC-catalyzed capitulation lows, Alts decisively broke higher four months later. Despite a small sample size, this breadth measure hints at upcoming cyclical bottoms and mid-cycle entries. Current data parallels 2021’s mid-cycle slump, not 2022/23’s end.”
