Ethereum, the world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency,\u00a0reached an all-time high of $1,470 today after a massive rally. ETH whales are transferring a significant amount to digital exchanges and unknown wallets. A total of 5 ETH transactions involving nearly 100,000 Ethereum were highlighted in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n
According to the data published by Whale Alert, a blockchain tracker and analytics company, unknown Ethereum whales transferred more than 46,000 ETH in two separate transactions from crypto exchange Binance to unknown wallets.<\/p>\n
The tracker showed that 9,000 Ethereum were transferred from Crypto.com to an unidentified wallet. Another transfer involving 25,450 ETH was recorded when an unidentified user transferred the cryptocurrency worth nearly $35 million to another unknown crypto wallet. The movement of 19,000 ETH was also reported to an unidentified wallet.<\/p>\n
The total value of the mentioned transactions stands at around $140 million. Over the weekend, a significant transaction was recorded when 57,625 Ethereum were transferred from Bitfinex to an unknown wallet. The price of Ethereum jumped nearly 100% since the start of 2021. The recent transfers from major crypto exchanges indicate that ETH whales are planning to accumulate the cryptocurrency to create a potential supply shortage of the world\u2019s second-largest crypto asset.<\/p>\n
The outflow of Ethereum from major digital exchanges has been evident for the last few days as a massive amount of ETH has already left cryptocurrency exchanges. According to a crypto analytic company, Glassnode, ETH accumulation is on the rise as the Ethereum balance on prominent exchanges fell 4.5% since last week. Apart from Ethereum, other crypto-assets like TRX and LINK were involved in prominent transactions. One of the key reasons behind the recent moves is a significant rise in the price of Altcoins. Furthermore, Ethereum, Polkadot, Cardano, Stellar, Litecoin, Chainlink and Bitcoin Cash, all are up in double-digits since last week, compared to a 10% drop in BTC price. Crypto whales are accumulating digital assets to diminish supply.<\/p>\n
