Ethereum’s been on fire, shooting up by 29% to hit $3,200 over the past week. But with some big players, like Tron’s Justin Sun, cashing in on the rally, people are starting to wonder: can Ethereum hold on to this high, or are we looking at a drop ahead? Let’s look at what’s happening and what this could mean for ETH’s next move.
Justin Sun’s Sell-Off Shakes Things Up
In the middle of this rally, Justin Sun, who founded Tron, decided to take advantage of Ethereum’s high price and sold off 19,000 ETH. That’s a cool $60.83 million worth of ETH, sold at around $3,202 each. Not bad, right? His profit from this sale was about $69 million, which is a nice 5.69% gain.
But here’s the kicker: Sun’s holdings in ETH are massive, around $1.19 billion altogether (that’s 392,474 ETH). So, this sale might sound huge, but it’s actually a small part of his total stash. Still, whenever big players like Sun start selling, the market pays attention. Could it mean more selling ahead? Or was he just cashing in a little bit while prices were high?
Big Whales Moving
Sun isn’t the only whale moving ETH around right now. Recently, an early Ethereum investor, who bought during the initial coin offering (ICO), came back into action after being quiet for years. This investor moved 1,555 ETH—worth about $5 million—to Coinbase. What’s wild is that they initially paid only $1,951 for all 6,292 ETH they bought during the ICO, which is now worth over $20 million. Talk about returns.
Another massive ETH holder, sitting on about 398,891 ETH, recently sold 46,853 ETH for $138.8 million in USDC, selling at a slightly lower price of $2,920. And they weren’t done! Later, they moved another 12,886 ETH to exchanges, adding another $42 million. Even after all that, they still have around 352,000 ETH in their wallet, showing they’re not giving up on Ethereum just yet.
Is $3,200 Just the Start?
All this buying, selling, and holding by major players has investors wondering if Ethereum can keep up its momentum. Right now, there’s some resistance at the $3,200 level, which means ETH might have a hard time pushing much higher without a pause or pullback. But some experts, like Michael van de Poppe, are still optimistic, predicting that Ethereum could perform well as the months roll on.
Trump and ETF Inflows
On top of that, blockchain analytics firm Santiment believes Bitcoin’s bull run might give Ethereum a boost as profits spill over into other cryptos. And with fresh spot Ethereum ETF inflows following Trump’s recent election win, interest in ETH looks solid. If this trend holds, Ethereum might just keep rising. But as always, crypto’s unpredictable—and only time will tell where ETH goes next.
What’s Next for ETH?
Ethereum’s future is still uncertain, but with whales sticking around and ETF interest growing, ETH could have more room to grow. Investors are watching closely to see if Ethereum can break through or if big sales will push it back down. For now, all eyes are on $3,200—and everyone’s waiting to see what ETH does next following Bitcoin rise to $81,000.
