Crypto blockchains are designed to be fully decentralized so that no single person or group has control. However, new data has shown that the top 10 Ethereum addresses control over 35% of the total ETH supply. For a network that was designed to be decentralized, this has sparked some serious concerns over how centralized ETH has become.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 10 Largest Ethereum Addresses Hold Over 35% Of The Available Supply<\/h2>\n

While sharing the metric on social media platform X, crypto market intelligence platform Santiment showed how holdings of the 10 largest Ethereum addresses have now climbed to 35% of the total supply.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc33 The 10 largest addresses on the #Ethereum<\/a> network are now holding over 35% of the available supply.

Over the past 5 years, the top 10 largest Ethereum addresses have seen their share of the total ETH supply grow substantially. Data shows that these addresses held only 11.2% of the total supply in August 2018, and then rose to 24% in August 2022. The current level means these 10 largest holders have accumulated 11% more in the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcc8 #Ethereum<\/a> has been seeing its top 10 addresses expand and accumulate more and more of the total available coin supply. In 5 years, the top 10 largest addresses have gone from owning 11.2% to now 34.6% of $ETH<\/a>.

Etherscan, an Ethereum block explorer, shows the top account balances in ETH, with the largest address alone (Beacon Deposit Contract) controlling over 24% of all supply. Next comes in Wrapped Ether at 2.7%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, most of the largest ETH holders are cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and Kraken. One of Binance\u2019s wallets (Binance 7) holds over 1.66%, while the exchange also holds large ETH amounts in other wallets, making it the largest of any single entity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In comparison, the top 10 addresses of Bitcoin, the largest crypto in the world, own only 5.35% of the total supply. This, of course, does not take into account Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin cache.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
