- Whale whales won about $ 2.5 billion in ETH last weekend, which is the biggest daily scoop since 2018.
- ETH entry explode along financial services and fintechs that build Ethereum Blockchain.
Ethereum [ETH] Whales (1k-10k ETH holders) have accumulated net the most ETH they have ever done in one day since 2018. This was no less than $ 2.5 billion in ETH absorbed by whales, as pretty clearly shown by Glassnode data.
This upward sharp peak on the histogram confirmed this record change position change. It was a knee shock that reflected the same kind of meeting that was observed in 2017, just before the important bull run of Ethereum.
The amount of delivery through the whales started to win quickly when it went back after the 14 million ETH level after a fall of several years.
In the meantime, the ETH price action fell, indicating that the whales front trained in a stealth accumulation game.

Previous episodes of this type of accumulation of whales were followed by an important bullish run in ETH. In the event that the pattern maintained the same trend as 2017, there may be a huge price drop in store.
The graph confirmed the rising whale conviction, so it was possible that low store action would be followed by the hurricane. A historic step can be in the disposal by ETH.
ETH inflow and institutional adoption increase
In the past week, Ethereum saw a net inflow of more than $ 450 million in spot ETFs that marked the third largest weekly inflow since August 2024.
This increase reflected a strong wave of institutional buying, which strengthens the idea that quieter market periods often become accumulative phases for banks, institutional investors and other smart players.
Interestingly, this renewed interest came when the ETH price was near an important level of support, even while the inflow is increasing – a classic sign of bullish divergence.
While March and April 2025 were characterized by Bearish ETF outflows, the tide shifted from strong intake in May and June with two consecutive weeks.
This shift means growing market confidence and a potential turning point for the momentum of Ethereum.

A bullish setup seems to be for Ethereum, powered by a remarkable fall in the exchange and an increase in inflow.
Instead of signaling a market top, this dynamic suggest a consolidation phase that can precede an outbreak.
Since the beginning of 2025, data from TokenTermal has shown a parabolic rise in Tokenized assets in control on Ethereum.
Large institutions such as BlackRock, PayPal and Franklin Templeton have contributed to this growth, which indicates a significant increase in institutional confidence in Ethereum’s infrastructure.
Ethereum is increasingly setting up as a financial hub and now anchores more than $ 4 billion in Tokenized Real-World assets (RWAS).
Historically, strong capital inflow and the rising acceptance of RWAs often precede the revaluations of the price. If this trend continues, Ethereum can be about to be an important outbreak.
