Nevertheless, because the cost of ETH has actually stayed fairly steady and preserved its hang on the $1,900 assistance, then it is most likely that these whales are simply moving their coins around without selling. In addition, these on-chain deals do not point towards an excellent volume of ETH streaming towards centralized exchanges, even more offering credence to the truth that these whales are stagnating their coins for offering functions.
