🐋 $ETH whales are dumping the asset.
We have the same situation as with $BTC - whales are dumping the coin en masse, but institutional investors are buying all the supply. Ethereum ETFs have recorded an inflow of funds for 20 days in a row, which is a record. During this time, investors have invested $5.4 billion in the funds. BlackRock's ETHA alone attracted over $4 billion in July. At the same time, private whales are selling off assets and exiting the market.

$BTC whales are actively selling coins.
According to analytical data, we see that over the past year, large whales have already sold 502,000 coins and continue to do so. Institutional investors (companies, holdings, funds, etc.) are buying all this volume.
We are in the process of redistributing the volume in favor of new whales and we will know whether it is good or bad only in a couple of years, when a new bear market cycle starts.
Now BTC has fallen a bit, but the general global trend is still in place and there are no preconditions for the beginning of a bearish trend.

💸 How many ETH coins have been lost?
Part of $BTC and $ETH issue is irretrievably lost and should not be taken into account when analyzing. Let's analyze how many ETH coins are definitely lost irretrievably.

🐋 Whales are actively buying $BNB
The recent rally in the asset is due to demand on the spot market and growing interest of institutional investors.BNB has outperformed traditional market indices and other major cryptocurrencies in terms of risk-return ratio. The potential demand for BNB from large investors is over $1.2 billion.Public companies hold $3.7 billion worth of $ETH, which is only 0.83% of its total capitalization.

Whales have accumulated >1.60 million LINK over the past two weeks. The asset is currently on the hype and is seeing large volumes, especially on OTC platforms. The asset, like $ENA, is currently very pleasant to buy in any perspective and at least 2x can still be picked up.
