- Ethereum consolidates almost $ 2,536 while momentum indicators indicate a potential cooldown.
- Whale accumulation is growing, but technical caution suggests caution in the short term despite trust in the long term.
Ethereum [ETH] continues to evolve, its nuclear challenges around decentralization and the resilience of infrastructure come in sharper focus.
Co-founder Vitalik Buterin has issued a timely warning against excessive dependence on centralized RPC services, calling for a transition to Stateless nodes to maintain the confidential nature of the network.
At the same time, data on chains revealed an increase in accumulation by Ethereum-Walvissen that had between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH unmistakably signal of growing trust in the long-term route of the protocol.
Buterin’s urge to stateless nodes
Vitalik Buterin is Alarm About the growing dependence on Ethereum of centralized RPC-Services gateways from third parties that most users depend on to access the network.
Although handy, these services concentrate in the hands of a few. It also opens the door to censorship, surveillance and systemic risk.
Buterin argues that this trend undermines the fundamental ethos of decentralization of Ethereum.
To prevent it, he argues for Stateless nodes – lightweight clients that do not have to store the entire blockchain.
The goal is clear: making a node as accessible as the use of an app, which means that users have more control and the decentralized backbone of Ethereum repairs.
Whale confidence is growing
While Buterin is struggling, more decentralized Ethereum, the biggest holders of the network themselves make daring movements.
Data on chains to show That wallet that holds between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH, increases their interests quietly and a sign of strong conviction in the long-term value of Ethereum.

As can be seen on the graph, the coin floated around $ 2,536 at the time of the press. Recent candles reflected reduced volatility and volume.
The RSI was just below the overbough area on 69.18, with a potential break or withdrawal. In the meantime, the MACD showed a weakening bullish momentum, with the gap between the MacD and signal line narrowing.
The cooling phase suggests that traders are in waiting mode. Perhaps they digest recent profits as the market is looking for its next directional cue.
