Ethereum (ETH), a significant player in the crypto space, has recently come under scrutiny due to some concerning on-chain activities.

Notably, the number of addresses holding significant amounts of Ethereum has declined, and some long-term holders appear to be liquidating their positions, potentially posing threats to Ethereum’s value.

Whale Watch: A Steep Decline In Ethereum Holdings

On-chain analytics have been instrumental in offering real-time insights into crypto market trends. Recent revelations have highlighted a downturn in Ethereum’s holding patterns that might have deeper implications for the digital asset’s value and the market.

According to Glassnode, a leading on-chain analytic platform, the number of addresses holding 1,000 Ethereum (ETH) coins or more has plummeted to a 5-year low.

Precisely, these addresses, often termed ‘whale addresses’ in the crypto world, have decreased to 6,082. Such a sharp decline can be attributed to the liquidation activities of some of Ethereum’s long-term holders.

It is worth noting that this contraction in whale holdings could potentially increase the susceptibility of Ethereum to market bears, potentially initiating a downward price trajectory.

The impact of such sales on the market is apparent. When large quantities of a cryptocurrency, such as Ethereum, are offloaded, it often leads to a considerable influx of selling pressure. This can cause panic among smaller investors, prompting further sales and possibly leading to a price drop.

Additional Pressures From Dormant Wallets

Interestingly, another layer adds to Ethereum’s selling pressure alongside the decrease in large-scale holdings. According to data from Lookonchain, a renowned on-chain data analysis firm, a dormant Ethereum wallet, untouched for around four years, has suddenly sprung into action.

The wallet in question liquidated its entire ETH holding, quickly pushing roughly $4.81 million worth of the altcoin into the market.

Such unexpected sales from long-inactive wallets could raise alarms in the market. While the exact reasons behind such liquidations often remain concealed, they invariably amplify the selling pressures on the affected cryptocurrency, which, in this case, is Ethereum.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname - HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think's probably unfeasible, I've done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
