Ethereum whales have been bullish for a long time now, even through the stretched-out bear market of the last year, and their accumulation trends prove this. According to Santiment, the largest Ethereum wallets have been stacking up ETH at an alarming rate, suggesting that these large investors expect the price to keep going up. Ethereum Whales Buy $124 Billion Worth Of Tokens Santiment reports that the top 200 Ethereum whales have been buying ETH since November 21, 2022.
