Whales Add 140,000 ETH (~$322M) as Price Holds $2,300 while ETH/BTC Lags and CLARITY Act Nears
Whale wallets bought roughly 140,000 ETH (about $322 million) over 96 hours while Ethereum traded near $2,300.
On-chain trackers show large wallets accumulated about 140,000 ETH over a 96‑hour period, totaling roughly $322 million in buy volume; whale holdings are now reported at approximately 13.98 million ETH [1] [2] [3].
Ethereum traded around $2,300 during the buying spree, with market participants noting $2,200 as nearby support and $2,400 as resistance; reports also highlight that ETH/BTC has lagged despite the inflows [3] [1].
Several outlets framed the accumulation in context, noting the buys occurred as the Clarity Act neared Senate markup, linking market activity to a shifting regulatory backdrop [4].
News sources characterized the whale activity as a boost to short‑term market confidence but limited their reporting to observed on‑chain purchases and price levels rather than drawing broader market conclusions [2] [3].
