Whales Abandon Ship? Ethereum Value In Jeopardy As Major Holders Liquidate

Ethereum (ETH), a significant player in the crypto space, has recently come under scrutiny due to some concerning on-chain activities.

Notably, the number of addresses holding significant amounts of Ethereum has declined, and some long-term holders appear to be liquidating their positions, potentially posing threats to Ethereum’s value.

Whale Watch: A Steep Decline In Ethereum Holdings

On-chain analytics have been instrumental in offering real-time insights into crypto market trends. Recent revelations have highlighted a downturn in Ethereum’s holding patterns that might have deeper implications for the digital asset’s value and the market.

According to Glassnode, a leading on-chain analytic platform, the number of addresses holding 1,000 Ethereum (ETH) coins or more has plummeted to a 5-year low.

Precisely, these addresses, often termed ‘whale addresses’ in the crypto world, have decreased to 6,082. Such a sharp decline can be attributed to the liquidation activities of some of Ethereum’s long-term holders.

It is worth noting that this contraction in whale holdings could potentially increase the susceptibility of Ethereum to market bears, potentially initiating a downward price trajectory.

The impact of such sales on the market is apparent. When large quantities of a cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum, are offloaded, it often leads to a considerable influx of selling pressure. This can cause panic among smaller investors, prompting further sales and possibly leading to a price drop.

Additional Pressures From Dormant Wallets

Interestingly, another layer adds to Ethereum’s selling pressure alongside the decrease in large-scale holdings. According to data from Lookonchain, a renowned on-chain data analysis firm, a dormant Ethereum wallet, untouched for around four years, has suddenly sprung into action.

The wallet in question liquidated its entire ETH holding, quickly pushing roughly $4.81 million worth of the altcoin into the market.

Such unexpected sales from long-inactive wallets could raise alarms in the market. While the exact reasons behind such liquidations often remain concealed, they invariably amplify the selling pressures on the affected cryptocurrency, which, in this case, is Ethereum.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s price has seen a slight bullish trajectory over the past week, up 1.4%. The asset has moved from a low of $1,596 seen last Wednesday to trade above $1,650 on Monday before retracing to $1,626, at the time of writing down by 1.8% in the past 24 hours.
