On-chain data suggests the Ethereum whales have shown a burst of
activity recently. Here’s what these titans have been up to.
Ethereum Whale Transactions Are At Their Highest Since March In a
new post on X, the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock has
discussed how the ETH whales have become active recently. The
on-chain metric of interest here is the “Number of Large
Transactions,” which, according to the analytics firm, tracks the
total number of Ethereum transactions on the network valued at more
than $100,000. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Reveals Trigger For

such large single transaction movements, so such large transfers
are associated with these humongous investors. As such, the Number
of Large Transactions indicator can tell us whether this cohort is
active right now. The chart below shows the recent trend in this
Ethereum metric. The graph shows that the Number of large
transactions for Ethereum has sharply increased recently. This
suggests that the whales have ramped up their activity. The whales
have come alive as news surfaced that the ETH spot exchange-traded
funds (ETFs) could have improved their approval odds. The hype in
the market has meant that ETH has enjoyed a rapid increase, taking
its price back around the $3,800 level. With all this happening in
the market, it’s only natural that these humongous entities would
be repositioning themselves. As the scale of this cohort’s
transactions is quite big, a large number of them taking place
together can be powerful enough to cause ripples in the market.
Thus, ETH could likely witness volatility shortly if the current
high whale activity persists. However, the direction this
volatility might take on Ethereum depends on whether these
investors collectively buy or sell. IntoTheBlock data has also
provided hints about this, as the below chart for the “Large
Holders Netflow” shows. This indicator measures the net amount of
Ethereum moving into or out of the wallets of “Large Holders.” The
analytics firm defines Large Holders as those who own at least 0.1%
of the entire circulating asset supply. Related Reading: Analyst

graph shows that the Large Holders have been participating in
accumulation recently, as the netflow has been positive for them.
Thus, it appears that the recent activity from the whales has
involved net-buying. It remains to be seen if these humongous
entities will continue to display this trend in the coming days,
potentially helping fuel the rally. ETH Price At the time of
writing, Ethereum is floating around $3,750, up more than 26% over
the past week. Featured image from Gabriel Dizzi on Unsplash.com,
