Glassnode on ETH Whales: ‘This Scale of Buying Hasn’t Been Seen Since 2017’

Published

on

Ether (ETH) ETH traded at $2,555.77 on Tuesday, down 3.7% over the past 24 hours after a sharp rejection near the $2,673 level triggered a wave of selling. The downturn follows several sessions of declining momentum and increasing volatility, culminating in a major sell-off late Monday that broke through initial support and left prices trending downward for most of the day.

Despite this weakness in price action, on-chain data suggests that larger market participants continue to treat the pullback as an opportunity to accumulate. According to Glassnode, daily net whale accumulation has exceeded 800,000 ETH for nearly a week, with total holdings in 1,000 to 10,000 ETH wallets rising above 14.3 million. The largest single-day inflow occurred on June 12, when whale wallets added more than 871,000 ETH — the biggest net inflow of 2025 so far.

This accumulation trend mirrors behavior last seen in 2017, underscoring the scale and intensity of recent large-holder buying. The whale buying spree has coincided with Ethereum’s retreat from $2,700 levels and may reflect strategic positioning ahead of further developments in institutional flows or ETF-related catalysts.

While technicals remain under pressure in the short term, the magnitude of this buying activity signals growing conviction among large entities. With prices hovering just above key support, traders and analysts are watching closely to see whether this whale-driven accumulation translates into a near-term reversal or simply cushions further downside.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • ETH fell 5.7% from $2,679.99 to $2,527.37 during the June 16 trading session, with volume exceeding 560,000 ETH.
  • A sharp drop occurred during the 22:00 hour, confirming resistance at $2,650 and accelerating downside momentum.
  • The subsequent recovery stalled near $2,540, forming a narrow consolidation pattern with reduced volatility.
  • During the final hour of the analysis window, ETH climbed from $2,550.57 to a peak of $2,564.28 before stabilizing near $2,553.40.
  • A spike in volume at 13:30 saw over 12,200 ETH traded, driving a brief 1.6% rally to $2,561.59.
  • A pullback followed, finding support at $2,549.56 during the 13:44 candle; price action formed an ascending channel with buyers stepping in.
  • The $2,553–$2,555 zone emerged as a key intraperiod consolidation level during the recovery phase.

Crypto Trading Firm Keyrock Buys Luxembourg’s Turing Capital in Asset Management Push

Published

on

By

Crypto trading firm Keyrock said it’s expanding into asset and wealth management by acquiring Turing Capital, a Luxembourg-registered alternative investment fund manager.

The deal, announced on Tuesday, marks the launch of Keyrock’s Asset and Wealth Management division, a new business unit dedicated to institutional clients and private investors.

Keyrock, founded in Brussels, Belgium and best known for its work in market making, options and OTC trading, said it will fold Turing Capital’s investment strategies and Luxembourg fund management structure into its wider platform. The division will be led by Turing Capital co-founder Jorge Schnura, who joins Keyrock’s executive committee as president of the unit.

The company said the expansion will allow it to provide services across the full lifecycle of digital assets, from liquidity provision to long-term investment strategies. «In the near future, all assets will live onchain,» Schnura said, noting that the merger positions the group to capture opportunities as traditional financial products migrate to blockchain rails.

Keyrock has also applied for regulatory approval under the EU’s crypto framework MiCA through a filing with Liechtenstein’s financial regulator. If approved, the firm plans to offer portfolio management and advisory services, aiming to compete directly with traditional asset managers as well as crypto-native players.

«Today’s launch sets the stage for our longer-term ambition: bringing asset management on-chain in a way that truly meets institutional standards,» Keyrock CSO Juan David Mendieta said in a statement.

Gemini Shares Slide 6%, Extending Post-IPO Slump to 24%

Published

By

Gemini Space Station (GEMI), the crypto exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has seen its shares tumble by more than 20% since listing on the Nasdaq last Friday.

The stock is down around 6% on Tuesday, trading at $30.42, and has dropped nearly 24% over the past week. The sharp decline follows an initial surge after the company raised $425 million in its IPO, pricing shares at $28 and valuing the firm at $3.3 billion before trading began.

On its first day, GEMI spiked to $45.89 before closing at $32 — a 14% premium to its offer price. But since hitting that high, shares have plunged more than 34%, erasing most of the early enthusiasm from public market investors.

The broader crypto equity market has remained more stable. Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S. crypto exchange, is flat over the past week. Robinhood (HOOD), which derives part of its revenue from crypto, is down 3%. Token issuer Circle (CRCL), on the other hand, is up 13% over the same period.

Part of the pressure on Gemini’s stock may stem from its financials. The company posted a $283 million net loss in the first half of 2025, following a $159 million loss in all of 2024. Despite raising fresh capital, the numbers suggest the business is still far from turning a profit.

Compass Point analyst Ed Engel noted that GEMI is currently trading at 26 times its annualized first-half revenue. That multiple — often used to gauge whether a stock is expensive — means investors are paying 26 dollars for every dollar the company is expected to generate in sales this year. For a loss-making company in a volatile sector, that’s a steep price, and could be fueling investor skepticism.
