Ethereum (ETH) Top 10 Non-Exchange and Exchange Whales Proportion Disparity Rises

Santiment data shows that the proportion of non-exchange ETH whales that hold Ethereum in wallets other than exchanges got to new highs compared to ETH exchange whales.

Unexpected Proportion

The Santiment group revealed that as Ethereum has recovered to the $3,400 level, the overall amount of ethers possessed by non-exchange whales totals 22.91 Million ETH. It is five times the amount of exchange whales that hold 4.6 million Ethereum.

Santiment explained this as a sudden high percentage and specified that the more difference favours non-exchange whales, the better it is.

Previously in July, the leading 10 Ethereum whales had collected significant quantities of ETH. They held 20.58% of the overall ETH supply in their accounts in mid-July after buying 2.12% of the ETH supply on the dip.

The Total Value of ETH 2.0 Hits 8 Million

On the other hand, due to a boost in the locked-in overall value, the Ethereum 2.0 deposit agreement remains to experience a boom in investments (TVL). According to Glassnode, the overall worth of the ETH 2.0 Deposit Contract has exceeded 7,824,674 ETH ATH as of October 2.

According to market expert Lark Davis, the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade will lead to a 90% decrease in everyday discharges, from 12,800 to 1,280. Ethereum is launching a collection of updates targeted at increasing the cryptocurrency’s effectiveness.

The current upgrade consists of the London Hardfork and the EIP 1559 update, which set off the initial deflation block on the Ethereum network on August 5. Additionally, according to the site etherburned.info, a large amount of Ethereum (409,669 ETH) was burned in the 3rd quarter of this year. The amount totals to about $1,358,695,270.

Ethereum Price is Surging
