Ethereum Whale Exits Entire Stack—What Happens Next?

cryptonewscryptonews

Ethereum rose with the wider crypto market as traders tracked a major Ethereum whale sale and institutional activity. ETH traded near $2,513, up about 4.3% over 24 hours, while its market value stood above $306 billion. The moves show mixed flows across holders. One whale exited a position, while Invesco clients and Abraxas Capital continued to hold or add exposure.

 

Ethereum Whale Exits $408 Million Position

Lookonchain reported that an Ethereum whale sold all 167,855 ETH held in its wallet over five days. The tokens carried a value of about $408 million during the selling period.

The activity began after the wallet received a large ETH transfer at the start of September. It then sent hundreds of millions of dollars in ETH to several exchanges before completing the sale.

Despite the selling, ETH price recovered from an earlier drop below $2,400. The token later moved back above $2,500 as broader crypto prices strengthened.

Invesco Clients Extend ETH Holding Streak

Arkham data showed that Invesco ETF clients have not recorded net ETH selling since March 19, 2026. Their holding streak has now lasted almost six months.

During that period, clients accumulated about $167 million in ETH. The assets reportedly remain in custody, showing continued exposure through the period.

The buying trend contrasts with the Ethereum whale exit. It also shows that large market participants are following different strategies as ETH prices move higher.

 

Notional Finance Reports Suspected Exploit

PeckShieldAlert, citing Specter, reported a suspected attack involving a Notional Finance escrow or custodial contract. The incident reportedly affected about $1.7 million in DAI and USDC.

The attacker allegedly converted the stolen funds into about 689.2 ETH. The attacker then routed the tokens through Tornado Cash, according to the security report.

Details remain limited, and Notional Finance has not confirmed every part of the incident. The case adds another event for traders monitoring Ethereum-related activity.

 

Abraxas Capital Adds Spot ETH

Lookonchain also reported that Abraxas Capital bought another 16,554 ETH, worth about $39.8 million. The purchases took place over roughly 12 hours.

At the same time, two related Hyperliquid accounts reportedly held 120,178 ETH in short positions worth about $291.4 million. The structure points to a hedged trading setup rather than a simple long position.

Ethereum remains above $2,500 as large holders take different positions across spot and derivatives markets.
