- The number of Ethereum whales owning more than 10,000 ETH has fallen by more than 7% since July.
- 62% of Ethereum holders are making profits as net inflows are poised for a likely surge.
Ethereum [ETH] has shown a clear downward trend in the number of whales holding more than 10,000 ETH since July.
This drop, of over 7%, is quite significant considering that large bondholders do indeed dictate market directions.
A rapid decline in whale engagement signals changes in sentiment and strategy for high-net-worth investors.
This is indeed a shift worth keeping an eye on, especially for those keeping an eye on the long-term market prospects of the altcoin king.

The majority of Ethereum holders are still making profits
Despite the reduction in whale activity, 62% of Ethereum holders are still making profits.
This could indicate that despite some recent volatility in recent months, the market is still somewhat friendly to the majority of investors.
Profitable holders are generally more likely to hold on to their assets and not engage in sudden sell-offs, which can lend a kind of stability to the market.

The rising net inflows indicate increased market activity
Ethereum has also seen a series of periods of spikes in net inflows, indicating growing demand and activity on the network. The inflow seems to be starting again after yesterday’s dip.
Such moves typically precede stronger price action, as the increased inflows can create greater buying pressure.
