Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has faced choppy waters. Over the past few days, Ethereum’s price has taken a nosedive,<\/a> plunging to lows of $2,800 on April 12, echoing the broader downturn witnessed across the crypto landscape.<\/p>\n However, in the face of volatility, a fascinating development has emerged: Ethereum whales, the behemoths of the crypto world, have begun to flex their muscles, showcasing strategic maneuvers that have captured the attention and speculation of the crypto community.<\/p>\n As Ethereum’s price plummeted, Ethereum whales wasted no time in capitalizing on the opportunity. One notable example is the whale identified as “0x435,” which embarked on a strategic accumulation spree as the ETH price dipped.<\/p>\n With a staggering investment of 70 million USDC, this whale acquired a hefty 23,790 ETH when Ethereum hit nearly $2,930. However, this wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision; rather, it was part of a calculated strategy that unfolded over several days, involving significant transactions and withdrawals from both centralized exchanges like Binance and decentralized exchanges.<\/p>\n Despite the recent 8% correction in the $ETH<\/a> price (24H), whales are still buying $ETH<\/a>!<\/p>\n 1.

On-chain analytics firms, such as Spot On Chain and Lookonchain, have provided insights into the scale and timing of these whale transactions, revealing a pattern of strategic accumulation amidst the market turbulence.<\/p>\n This whale spent 70M $USDC<\/a> to buy 23,790 $ETH<\/a> at $2,942 from the bottom again after $ETH<\/a> dropped.<\/p>\n He has bought 85,931 $ETH<\/a>($278.5M) from #Binance<\/a> and #DEX<\/a> in the past week, with an average buying price of $3,241.<\/p>\n He still holds $136M stablecoins and may buy more $ETH<\/a>.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/d7yYdqEnDB<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lookonchain (@lookonchain) April 14, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n These whales aren’t acting alone; they’re part of a broader trend that suggests institutional players or sophisticated investors are positioning themselves strategically in anticipation of future market movements.<\/p>\n The broader context of Ethereum’s price movement adds another layer to this unfolding saga. Ethereum’s decline over three consecutive days, from highs of $3,617 to lows of $2,850 on April 13, underscores the volatility and uncertainty gripping the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n However, amidst the stormy seas, Ethereum managed to make a slight recovery, climbing back up to $3,107 at the time of writing, albeit still down 6.05% in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In another development, as the first jurisdiction to permit trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum cash exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Hong Kong has set new precedents.<\/p>\n The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong has previously granted permission to many prominent financial corporations to establish these exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently reviewing comparable applications.<\/p>\nStrategic Accumulation Amidst Turbulence<\/strong><\/h2>\n
