📊 #ETH Santiment: Ethereum broke a 7-year record last weekend. The top 10 non-exchange addresses surpassed #ETH25M for the first time since 2016. Some critics are expected to complain about #ETH centralization in this case.
- However, the number of whale addresses continues to decline. There are only 124 addresses holding >100,000 #ETH, the lowest since November 2018. This number peaked at 176 in July 2019.
- Finally, #ETH spent seems to be the dominant one for Ethereum. This is usually the case, but it seems to be expanding its lead over #WETH, #USDC and #USDT lately. Note the increase in #USDT #USDC #ETH spend in particular as a good sign that the markets may be on the brink of an upswing.
