<p>In the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape, <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/ethereum-surpasses-3k-first-time-in-2-years/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> has notably surged by over 30% since the dawn of 2024, now hovering around the $3,000 mark. This uptrend in Ethereum’s price has sparked considerable interest, particularly among large-scale investors colloquially called “whales.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recent observations in on-chain data suggest these whales’ significant accumulation of Ethereum, indicating a bullish sentiment towards the digital asset.</p>

<p><a href="https://twitter.com/spotonchain/status/1760231029741330928" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Spot On Chain</a>, a prominent platform known for sharing on-chain data insights, made waves today with revelations regarding substantial Ethereum acquisitions by a whale address. According to the platform’s data, this whale address procured approximately 13,526 ETH at an average price of $2,947 per ETH, amassing a total value exceeding $39 million.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Notably, the whale withdrew 10,136 ETH from Binance while purchasing 3,390 ETH via 1inch. Moreover, Spot On Chain disclosed that within the past three days, the whale had acquired a staggering 64,501 ETH, equivalent to a valuation surpassing $187 million at current market prices.</p>
<p>Adding fuel to the speculation fire, Spot On Chain raised eyebrows by reporting an additional withdrawal of $40 million USDT from Binance by the aforementioned whale. This move sparked intrigue, prompting speculation regarding its potential allocation towards further Ethereum acquisitions.</p>
