    4. Recent market turbulence spurred some Ethereum (ETH) whales to sell their holdings to lock in gains or cover loans. Large-scale transaction data showed thousands of ETH moved to centralized exchanges or for loan coverage.

    Market Turbulence and Whale Sell-offs

    Amber Group was one of the significant sellers this week, offloading 6,443 ETH. This move added to the overall downward price action. Whale sell-offs began after a nine-day streak of outflows from some of the largest Ethereum ETFs. These sell-offs resulted from Grayscale shedding its tokens while other funds showed slower demand.

    Changes in Whale Holdings Structures

    Even previously successful whales faced losses at the $2,400 level, liquidating their assets. One such whale deposited 8,825 ETH to Binance, leaving behind 10,619 ETH with an estimated total loss of $15.7M. Whales also started moving out of staked ETH positions to sell assets on major exchanges.

    Addition of New Tokens to the Ethereum Network

    New token production is among the biggest sources of net ETH inflows. Over the past week, the network produced 16,872 ETH, retaining most tokens due to a slower burn rate. Activity shifted from the Ethereum main net to several L2 chains, resulting in a lower burn rate.

    Despite the selling pressure and market volatility, Ethereum continues to recover, maintaining much of its value. However, in the short term, profit-taking by whales might reduce the momentum for further growth.
