These large transactions, classified as transactions carrying at least $100,000 worth of coins, often show when whales are moving and when they are idle. The figures had first spiked going into the weekend on June 20, when it rose almost 100% from 1.89 million ETH transacted to over. 3.71 million ETH moved in a 24-hour period.
This coincided with the start of the market decline as the Ethereum price trended back toward $2,400. On Saturday, June 21, the numbers were much more muted, after falling to 1.57 million ETH. However, this would quickly change as sell-offs picked up by Sunday, and the crash was in full bloom.
