This activity suggests a potential staking strategy as the deposit aligns with Ethereum\u2019s proof-of-stake mechanism. The timing of this transaction matches a notable rise in network-level inflows to accumulation addresses.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8 \ud83d\udea8  76,800 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ETH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ETH<\/a> (195,308,712 USD) transferred from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Binance?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Binance<\/a> to Binance Beacon Deposit<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GQH1bMSztZ\">https:\/\/t.co\/GQH1bMSztZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Whale Alert (@whale_alert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/whale_alert\/status\/1921894721275720122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The transfer occurred amid heightened whale movement and price growth across the Ethereum ecosystem. On-chain metrics indicate this was one of the largest single ETH moves in recent weeks. These metrics highlight confidence in Ethereum\u2019s future, as accumulation generally precedes price continuation.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant data confirmed that accumulation addresses now record historically high inflows, surpassing all previous benchmarks since 2017. The transfer to the Beacon Deposit address signals continued belief in staking as a long-term play. Despite Ethereum\u2019s significant recent price gains, whales continue shifting coins into positions rather than selling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Whales are accumulating <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> like never before \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dr6aKkKkkr\">pic.twitter.com\/dr6aKkKkkr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Gordon (@AltcoinGordon) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AltcoinGordon\/status\/1921791962035708217?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>40,930 ETH Moved to Custodial Platform Ceffu<\/h2>\n<p>Another major Ethereum transaction involved 40,930 ETH valued at $104.6 million, transferred from a private wallet to custody service Ceffu. The source wallet remains undisclosed, but the move aligns with broader accumulation behavior across the network. Whale Alert tracked this transaction as part of a larger trend of ETH consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern supports the narrative that large ETH holders secure assets rather than liquidating at current prices. The move suggests preparation for long-term holdings with Ethereum trading between $1,763 and $2,582 over the past week. The inflow to Ceffu follows similar shifts, pointing to broader institutional storage strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Such activity also reflects increased confidence in Ethereum\u2019s utility and potential market performance. Market analysts note that previous accumulation phases often preceded major price moves. The size and timing of this transfer imply strategic foresight and calculated capital deployment.<\/p>\n<h2>32,496 Ethereum Sent From Binance to Private Wallet<\/h2>\n<p>A third key Ethereum transfer involved 32,496 ETH, valued at $82.9 million, sent from <a href=\"https:\/\/blockonomi.com\/binance-founder-cz-confirms-filing-for-presidential-pardon-request-with-trump\/\">Binance <\/a>to an undisclosed private wallet. This adds to more than 150,000 ETH moved within a short time frame. Each transfer underscores a consistent accumulation pattern emerging from whale-level addresses.<\/p>\n<p>This recent accumulation surge also follows an earlier move involving 123,000 ETH over several days. The large transactions&#8217; overall volume and frequency indicate that major players are repositioning. These coordinated moves further validate CryptoQuant\u2019s data, which shows a historic rise in <a href=\"https:\/\/coincentral.com\/xrp-price-prediction-can-ripple-pump-to-20-with-eth-inflows-while-vedora-pumps-38-in-the-last-24-hours\/\">ETH inflows<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum has gained 50.6% in the past month and 38.6% in the past week alone. With over 66 million ETH in profit, whales continue acquiring more. The price momentum and high inflow data align to show confidence in Ethereum\u2019s long-term trajectory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TLDR Ethereum recorded over 150,000 ETH moved within 24 hours across major wallets and exchanges.
