Ethereum Whale Causes Panic in Community Amidst Offloading Concerns
Title: Ethereum Whale Causes Panic Among Community Members as Price Rebound Predicted
An Ethereum whale has sparked panic among community members after transferring 11,215 ETH ($34.3 million) to the crypto exchange Coinbase, suggesting they may be looking to offload their holdings. This move comes at a time when research firm Matrixport predicts a significant rebound in Ethereum’s price.
Data from market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock indicates a potential demand for these tokens despite the whale’s transfer. In fact, there has been a 132% increase in large holders’ netflow to exchange netflow ratio, indicating active accumulation of ETH by whales. Additionally, inflow volume into exchanges has decreased by over 11% in the last seven days.
The outflow volume from exchanges has also increased by 3%, confirming that Ethereum investors are keen on holding their positions and accumulating more ETH. This accumulation trend bodes well for Ethereum’s price, which could see a substantial rebound in the near future.
Research firm Matrixport’s prediction of a price rebound is further supported by the potential launch of Spot Ethereum ETFs, which could attract institutional investors and further reduce the supply of ETH on exchanges. Crypto analysts believe that Ethereum is primed for a rally, with supply and demand dynamics favoring a price increase.
Analysts like Follis draw parallels between Ethereum’s current chart and Bitcoin’s before its 200% pump last year, suggesting that the Spot Ethereum ETFs could be the catalyst for a similar rally for ETH. With demand expected to outpace supply, Ethereum’s price could see a significant uptrend in the coming days.
