The winds of change are swirling around Ethereum, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency. Despite a recent price dip, the network has witnessed a surge in new user activity, sparking a wave of optimism. However, the outsized influence of large holders, known as whales, continues to cast a long shadow. Related Reading: Whales Dive In, But Dogecoin Price Sinks 20%: What’s Going On? New Wallets Open For Business Data from blockchain analytics firm Santiment reveals a surge in new Ethereum wallets, with a record-breaking 267,000 created on April 28th and 29th. This influx marks the highest two-day increase since October 2022 and suggests a potential resurgence of interest in the Ethereum network. 📈 #Ethereum saw a milestone as April came to an end. 266.6K new wallets were created on April 28th and 29th, the highest 2-day stretch of network growth since October 8th and 9th, 2022.

Analysts speculate that the rise in new wallets could be fueled by several factors, including: Anticipation of future growth: Investors may be looking towards upcoming Ethereum upgrades that promise improved scalability and security, betting on the network’s long-term potential. Bargain hunters: The recent price dip might be seen as an attractive entry point for new investors seeking a discount on Ethereum. On Minnows And Whales While the number of new users is encouraging, a closer look at Ethereum’s address distribution reveals a stark disparity in holdings. According to CoinMarketCap, a staggering 97% of Ethereum addresses hold between $0 and $1,000 worth of the cryptocurrency. This signifies a large pool of small-scale investors, often referred to as “minnows.” However, the real power lies with a select few. Whale tracking platform Clank estimates that whales, representing only 0.10% of all Ethereum addresses, control a whopping 41% of the total circulating supply. This translates to an average holding of nearly 10 million ETH per whale, valued at a staggering $3.7 million. Ether market cap currently at $362 billion.

In fact, Ether is up more than 30% year-to-date (YTD) from an opening price of about $2,282. As of today, Ethereum sits at $3,014, with a total market capitalization of $362 billion. Notably, the market experienced an average decline of 8.75% over the last week, highlighting Ethereum’s relative resilience. Source: CoinMarketCap Related Reading: Bitcoin Slide Over?
