Ethereum, the world’s second-most valuable digital asset, is now up by more than 7% in the last 24 hours as the cryptocurrency market posted a strong rebound. Additionally, Ethereum’s on-chain activity has increased rapidly in the last few weeks as large ETH addresses have accelerated the accumulation of Ethereum coins.
Santiment, the crypto analytics and data services provider, released its latest report about Ethereum whales today and mentioned that the top 10 ETH addresses are now holding a total of 19.08 million coins. Despite the latest accumulation, ETH supply at leading digital exchanges is plunging.
“The top 10 Ethereum whale addresses are creeping toward a new milestone in terms of supply held. Currently holding 19.08m ETH, these top addresses previously held an All-Time High of 19.25m ETH three weeks before the price skyrocketed above $4,300,” Santiment mentioned.
