This is according to data from the team at Santiment feed who also point out that the increment happened after Ethereum hit a new all-time high. Furthermore, the increment of Ethereum whales was happening as smaller ETH addresses took profits at the record-high levels.<\/p>\n<p>The team at Santiment shared their observation of Ethereum whales via the following statement and accompanying chart tracking their holdings.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>Think <\/span><span>Ethereum<\/span><span> whales are taking profit after <\/span><span>$ETH<\/span><span>&#8216;s first <\/span><span>#ATH<\/span><span> in 3 years? There were 1,211 addresses with 10,000+ <\/span><span>$ETH<\/span><span> addresses Saturday, just before history was made. This # is now up to 1,225.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> Meanwhile, smaller addresses are profit taking.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ETH-whales-Jan-21st-1024x601.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>Ethereum Holds the $1,200 Support Zone<\/h2>\n<p>With respect to price, Ethereum is currently trading at $1,227 in the midst of a crypto market sell-off as a result of Bitcoin losing the $35k support zone and dipping to a local low of $31,300.<\/p>\n<p>The selling surrounding Bitcoin can be linked to two events. Firstly, earlier today Bitcoin whales sold their bags causing a ripple effect in the entire crypto markets. The CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju, identified the event and elaborated on it as follows.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span>Whales are depositing <\/span><span>$BTC<\/span><span> to exchanges. No doubt it&#8217;ll hit $100k this year, but in the short-term, if we wouldn&#8217;t see any significant buying pressure from<\/span> CoinbasePro<span>, I think <\/span><span>$BTC<\/span><span> would be bearish. Should keep eyes on Coinbase outflow and Coinbase Premium<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Secondly, the team at Bitmex research identified a double-spend transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain that has rattled the crypto community a bit as they wonder if it will have any long term effects on BTC.<\/p>\n<p>The above two events have thus affected Ethereum that has dropped from $1,390 to a local bottom of $1,190. ETH has since retained the $1,200 price area as support. This area will be an area of interest in the next 24 &#8211; 48 hours as traders wait for the volatility to subside in the crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/ethereum-whales-are-increasing-as-smaller-eth-addresses-take-profits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick take: Ethereum whales holding 10,000+ ETH<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":109056,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
