Massive crypto whale shifts 15,000 Ethereum (ETH) off exchange ETH $ETH
Although the whale's actions may have been made for a variety of reasons, one particular motive may have been to avoid the current market fluctuations while still wanting to keep the particular cryptocurrency for a lot longer.Analysts suggest that the withdrawal of cryptocurrencies from exchanges to put in cold storage for safety or into DeFi to generate yield may indicate that investors are prepared to hold onto their cryptocurrency for a long time.
Users deposit digital assets into the"liquidity pools" of DeFi protocols, which become funds that could be lent out. This often stems from a belief that the market could rise even further. Also, the whale was able to access liquidity by borrowing 10 million USDC stablecoin without having to sell his assets.Arbitrage, which involves buying an asset in one market and selling it right away in another market for a greater price, is one of the most obvious justifications for borrowing.
Since the beginning of the year, ETH, the native token of Ethereum, has increased by more than 40%, reaching its highest point in seven months at almost $1,750. According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the Ethereum price increase follows the determination of shark and whale addresses that have accumulated 1.88 million ETH since November 2022.
