Hence, the whale has reportedly spent a cumulative 14.08M $USDC for the purchase of 6,204 $ETH. This buyout accounts for an average purchase price of nearly $2,269. In addition to this, the other whale, going by “0xeBE…,” has scooped a total of 3,156 $ETH from the popular crypto exchange Binance. This amount equals an overall value of nearly $7.34. As a result of this, the whale’s current Ethereum holdings have hit the 4,697 mark. This figure accounts for almost $10.91M.

Broader Accumulation Drives Market Momentum Despite Price Drop

According to Lookonchain and Onchain Lens, the $ETH accumulation activity by these diverse whales highlights a collective bullishness across the market. Thus, the transactions of millions of dollars denote the renewed confidence among the investors, irrespective of the widespread volatility. At the same time, $ETH is changing hands at $2,315.52, displaying a 0.69% dip over the past 24 hours. However, the current optimism around $ETH could serve as a turning point for its further trajectory.
