Ethereum has seen a surge in large-scale buying as its price dipped near $3,000 before recovering to $3,200.
This renewed interest comes from major investors, including Ethereum whales and Donald Trump’s DeFi initiative, World Liberty Financial (WLF), signaling confidence in the asset’s potential rebound.
Crypto whales have been actively increasing their holdings, with 13 new wallets accumulating over 10,000 ETH each in the past day. Additionally, WLF has been on a buying spree, acquiring $10 million worth of ETH earlier today.
Over the last week, the project has spent nearly $130 million to amass 39,242 ETH at an average price of $3,312, pushing its total holdings to over 82,000 ETH, including a significant portion staked via Lido Finance.
WLF’s portfolio, valued at $370 million, includes various assets such as TRX, AAVE, LINK, and WBTC, positioning it as a notable player in decentralized finance. Blockchain analysts suggest this activity aligns with broader efforts to establish the U.S. as a leader in cryptocurrency innovation under Trump’s vision.
Ethereum remains stuck below the $4,000 mark despite signs of recovery. Analysts are monitoring the formation of a bullish wedge pattern, which could trigger an upward breakout. The influx of institutional and whale investments may serve as a catalyst for a rally, but Ethereum first needs to overcome key resistance levels to regain momentum.
A widely followed crypto analyst suggests that Bitcoin and altcoins are on the verge of a major breakout, leaving hesitant investors behind.
