Ethereum may not be exploding on the charts right now, but something big is brewing beneath the surface. On June 15, yesterday, high-value wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 ETH snapped up over 818,000 ETH in a single day, roughly $2.5 billion worth of accumulation, making it the largest daily whale inflow since 2018.

These addresses, often linked to hedge funds, long-term believers, and institutional desks, now hold over 16 million ETH, up from just under 12 million last year. It’s not noise. It’s conviction.

Institutions Are Buying Too $583M Inflows Last Week

CoinShares data shows Ether-based investment products pulled in over $583 million last week. That brings total inflows for 2025 to $2.28 billion. This isn’t just whale wallets. It’s structured capital moving in quietly, the kind that doesn’t chase pumps.

Ethereum Accumulation Zone Holds as Bitcoin Price Steadies Above $107K

Retail might be bored, but the whales are busy. With Ethereum maintaining support above $2,555 and whale wallets adding billions, this quiet stretch may be the calm before a move. A clean break above $2,815 could trigger a wave of upside, especially if it’s backed by volume.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price continues to trade firm above $107,000, reinforcing the broader market’s risk-on tilt. If BTC regains momentum, ETH could quickly follow, turning this slow grind into a sharp breakout.
