Increase in Purchases by Major Players
Analysts note that large-scale accumulation of Ethereum by so-called “whales” began in June 2025. Although the current market price of the coin has dropped below the price at which these addresses started their purchases, the activity of major players has not only remained steady but has intensified. The increase in purchases confirms confidence in the asset’s potential even amid market corrections.
“According to analysts, the large-scale accumulation of Ethereum by whales began in June 2025. Notably, the current market price of the asset is lower than the level at which they started buying. Nevertheless, the volume of their purchases has not decreased — on the contrary, activity has intensified, CryptoQuant added.”
Experts believe that the current price level of Ethereum is attractive for further investments by major players.
Market Structure: Large and Small Holders
According to Santiment, addresses with a balance of 1000 ETH now control less than 75% of the total supply of the coin. The share of major players has decreased due to a period of active sell-offs after Christmas 2025, when they sold about 1.5% of the total Ethereum volume.
At the same time, small holders with less than 1 ETH currently hold a record 2.3% of the market supply. Experts explain this trend by the growing popularity of staking among small investors.
As of now, Ethereum is trading below the $2000 mark, which further reinforces the interest of major players in the coin for the long term.
Previously, Vitalik Buterin presented an updated plan to integrate artificial intelligence technologies with the Ethereum ecosystem, which could also impact the future development of the network.
