According to the on-chain data provider, the cumulative count of this whale investors cohort climbed from 1075 to 1088 between 3 and 4 September, as they collectively purchased around 260,000 ETH worth nearly $425 million during that period.
However, the count of much bigger ETH whales has since declined. Data from Santiment revealed a 2% drop in the count of ETH whales that hold between 100,000 to 1,000,000 coins in the past three days.
Much ado about nothing?
While a cohort of ETH whales has intensified accumulation in the past few days, the coin’s whale transaction volume has generally declined in the last month. Data from IntoTheBlock revealed a 27% decline in ETH whale transactions worth between $1 million and $10 million.
For transactions above $10 million, trade volume has plummeted by 11% in the last 30 days.
