Ethereum Whales Remain Skeptical
Amid the heightened crypto volatility, Ethereum whales have remained less active in the past few days. According to on-chain data analysis, the number of new active addresses has declined by 9.32% in the past week to hover around 100K.
The demand for Ether by whale investors has remained low since March 2024, despite the approval of spot ETH ETFs. According to on-chain data analysis provided by Coinglass, the number of ETH supplies on centralized exchanges has increased by more than 400k Ethereum units to around 15.8 million since the calendar flipped in January 2025.
Meanwhile, the US spot Ether ETFs registered the fourth consecutive day of cash outflow on Monday.

Bigger Picture
The Ethereum network remains the undisputed leader in the Web3 sector, with more than $63 billion in total value locked and over $113 billion in stablecoins market cap. The notable development of Ethereum’s layer two (L2) scaling solutions bags helped the Ether ecosystem attract more on-chain activities in the last year, led by institutional investors.
Furthermore, the US president-elect Donald Trump holds a huge amount of his crypto portfolio in Ether and its related ERC20 tokens.
With the ongoing mainstream adoption of digital assets around the world, led by institutional investors, Ethereum price is well positioned to rally exponentially ahead.
The major Ethereum developments, including network upgrades, have helped increase the overall utility of Ether to real-world use cases.
