Ethereum Updates: Major Crypto Holders Diverge as Ethereum Surges During Federal Reserve Ambiguity and Global Tensions
- Ethereum surged past $4,200 in October amid Fed rate cut speculation, but whale activity reveals conflicting strategies between aggressive accumulation and cautious exits. - Reliance Global Group diversified its crypto portfolio by acquiring Solana (SOL), leveraging its low-cost blockchain for liquidity and risk balance alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings. - Key whales like 0xc2a3 ($30M unrealized gains) and 0xb927 (sold 15,000 ETH) highlight market polarization, while SharpLink Gaming's $78.3M ETH p
The cryptocurrency sector is currently facing a dynamic environment, as institutional investors and large holders adopt varying tactics during a period of market recovery.
Reliance Global Group (Nasdaq: RELI) has joined the digital asset space, expanding its crypto assets through a strategic purchase of
At the same time, whale activity remains divided. One notable trader, wallet 0xc2a3, who has maintained a flawless track record, has increased long positions in both Ethereum and Bitcoin, accumulating $167.35 million in
The so-called "25x dip buying ETH whale" has adopted a different strategy. After enduring a sharp drop in early October, this trader increased their holdings and realized a $2.12 million profit as ETH rebounded. Lookonchain reports that this whale still holds 15,689.44 ETH in open long positions, showing sustained faith in Ethereum’s recovery, as also mentioned in the BeInCrypto report. Likewise, whale 0xC50a, who is leveraged in both Bitcoin and Ethereum, has reported $2.1 million in unrealized profits, pointing to a positive outlook despite ongoing volatility.
Nevertheless, warning signs remain. In the past day, over 31,100 ETH has been transferred to centralized exchanges, with Binance alone receiving 25,000 ETH. Experts caution that such large inflows could spark a selloff if economic uncertainty persists, as noted in the Yahoo Finance analysis. SharpLink Gaming, the second-largest corporate holder of ETH, has also resumed buying, acquiring $78.3 million worth of Ethereum, which, according to the BeInCrypto report, signals continued institutional interest in the asset.
With these conflicting trends, the upcoming weeks are set to challenge both retail and institutional investors. As the Federal Reserve’s policy and global political tensions remain in focus, the actions of large holders—whether accumulating or exiting—will continue to serve as a key indicator of overall market sentiment.
