A large Ethereum ($ETH) whale has made significant transactions in recent days. Spot On Chain reports that during the past four days a single whale moved a total of 23,330 ETH worth $61.9 million to Binance. Each ETH payment from this whale averaged $2,654 at its point of deposit. Assessments point to possible future selling behavior by the whale.
This giant whale appears to have turned bearish on #Ethereum, depositing a net 23,330 $ETH ($61.9M) to #Binance at ~$2,654 over the past 4 days!
Nonetheless, its entry and exit points do not seem optimal, often accumulating at highs and offloading at lows. 👇

Ethereum Whale Struggles with Entry and Exit Timing
The trading activities of this whale remain inconsistent across its history. The entity makes Ethereum purchases at elevated costs before seeking lower sale prices. The transaction data shows the whale did not achieve ideal entry and exit price points during its trades.
On February 13 the whale withdrew its biggest transaction yet from Binance. The whale withdrew 104,509 ETH worth $279 million when ETH prices averaged $2,669 during this withdrawal. The whale has stored a significant quantity of $ETH over time before engaging in latest transactions.
The withdrawn ETH shows minimal evidence of being traded as sellers. The whale has directed its assets towards multiple different platforms for supply or staking purposes. The whale invested deposited funds into the platforms Etherfi, Lido Finance, Spark, Gearbox, Compound, Aave, and Morpho. Asset holders receive rewards through staking programs that enable users to retain their investments.
Whale Activity Sparks Confusion in Ethereum Market
Market participants receive contradictory messages from this whale’s behavior. Large Binance deposits indicate the whale may use these funds to sell their assets. Ethereum’s upcoming developments appear favorable in the eyes of investors who stake their assets.
The current movements, reported by Spot On Chain, by these investors create uncertainty about their effect on Ethereum’s price direction. Current whale trading intentions could cause negative price movements during short periods. The market stability depends on whether the whale chooses to hold its ETH tokens.
