The market analytics firm says that three new wallets accumulated 63,837 ETH, currently worth $236 million, via FalconX, an institutional cryptocurrency brokerage, and Galaxy Digital’s OTC services.
Tom Lee’s crypto treasury firm, BitMine Immersion, also accumulated roughly $300 million in ETH within the first three days of August.
The latest batch of accumulation pushed ETH up by 3% to $3,650.
ETH ETFs and Market Sentiment
The crypto market is currently facing resistance. According to CoinMarketCap data, the total market value is currently at $3.74 trillion, gaining roughly $40 billion over the past day.
Moreover, market sentiment remains stuck in the neutral zone, fluctuating between 50 and 55. This movement suggests investor uncertainty, which should be natural considering the ETF outflows.
Spot ETH ETFs in the US saw a net outflow of $153.3 million and $465.1 million within the first two trading days in August. The majority of the outflows, worth $375 million, came from BlackRock’s ETHA fund, according to SoSoValue data.
In addition to the ETFs, CoinShares reported on Aug. 4 that crypto-related investment products finally ended their 14-week inflow streak with $223 million in outflows.
Ethereum and the broader crypto market are seeing selling pressure from short-term holders, which will likely put pressure on digital assets for a few weeks. So far, there’s no major negative catalyst that could push the market deeper into the bearish zone.
