Ethereum Whale Accumulates $45.5 Million in ETH: $3,300 Next?
A crypto whale has staked a staggering $45.5 million in Ethereum (ETH). This action and other whales’ accumulations have led to a notable surge in the crypto price.
This bold move underscores the growing confidence among major investors in Ethereum’s long-term potential.
Ethereum Price Approaches $3,300 Level Amidst Whale Accumulation
Recent data from the on-chain analytical platform Lookonchain reveals a fascinating development. A prominent whale wallet, 0x8B9, withdrew 14,632 ETH, valued at approximately $45.5 million, from Binance and staked it all within just six days.
Moreover, another report from Spot On Chain highlights an equally intriguing transaction. A new wallet, identified as 0xBa7, executed a significant withdrawal of 3,000 ETH ( approx. $9.18 million) from Kraken, with Ethereum’s price at $3,061 at that moment. Interestingly, ETH is the only token this whale has chosen to accumulate, signaling a targeted investment approach.
Furthermore, there has been more whale accumulation over the weekends. Specifically, two new wallets withdrew a total of 6,000 ETH from Kraken, totaling an impressive $18.17 million, at an average price of $3,028. These withdrawals from centralized exchanges to self-custody solutions suggest a long-term holding strategy. Consequently, this reduces the selling pressure on Ethereum and fosters a bullish market sentiment.
The impact of these strategic moves is clearly visible in Ethereum’s price trajectory. Over the past month, ETH has seen a remarkable rise, with its value increasing by nearly 35%. This surge has pushed the price of ETH to $3,100, a peak not seen since April 2022. Market intelligence firm Decentrader has been closely monitoring this trend. They suggest market bulls aim for a new resistance level at $3,300.
