The imbalance in ETH holdings raises important questions about its implications for Ethereum&#8217;s price and market dynamics moving forward. Whale Accumulation Surges By Over 90% Since Early 2023 According to IntoTheBlock, the total concentration of ETH in whale addresses is currently at 61.09 ETH, which represents about 43% of the total supply.

However, Ethereum\u2019s case deviates from this narrative due to the unique nature of its ecosystem and recent structural shifts within the network since 2022.
