Ethereum whales’ holdings hit new ATH as price slips further

2023-06-05 12:54:22

Ethereum’s (ETH) price has struggled to keep up over the past two months as the global crypto market cap plunged by roughly $150 billion. As the price dropped, the top 10 non-exchange ETH addresses’ holdings touched a new all-time high (ATH).

According to data from the market intelligence platform Santiment, the top 10 ethereum whales hold roughly $59.47 billion worth of ether — 31.8 million ETH. This move comes as more users move into “self-custody and DeFi options,” per Santiment.

Moreover, as the whales advance, data shows that only 7.29 million coins stay inside the top exchange addresses, worth around $13.65 billion at the time of writing
