Most of these whales acquired ETH through ICOs. In the early days, ETH was just one of many cryptocurrencies. It was not the second-largest like today. This shows how much faith these ancient whales had in ETH. However, their mass selling suggests that this faith is crumbling.

In this bull market, ETH has underperformed compared to BTC. Over the past year, ETH has dropped nearly 50% while BTC has risen more than 25%. Standard Chartered previously stated that Ethereum is facing structural decline, lowering its price target for ETH by 60% from $10,000 to $4,000 by the end of 2025.
