Ethereum Whales Quietly Accumulate as Retail Takes Profit — What It Could Signal Next

Over the past 30 days, wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH — often referred to as whales and sharks — have added 1.49 million ETH to their portfolios. This marks a 3.72% increase in holdings, pushing their total share to nearly 27% of Ethereum’s entire circulating supply.

There are currently 6,392 such wallets, and this accumulation trend stands in contrast to recent market behavior.

According to the report while retail investors have been locking in profits amid Ethereum’s volatile price action, whales appear to be taking the opportunity to accumulate during the dip.

This divergence in behavior could be meaningful. Historically, periods where large wallets accumulate while retail sells have often preceded significant market reversals or upward price momentum. The move suggests growing confidence among seasoned players, even as general sentiment remains cautious.
