Ethereum price aims for $2,000 as whales continue to accumulate even more coins

  • Ethereum price has hit a new all-time high of $1,837 on February 10.
  • The digital asset has been trading inside a robust uptrend for the past month.
  • Whales have continued to accumulate even more Ethereum despite rising prices.

Ethereum price reached a market capitalization of over $200 billion for the first time ever after hitting a new all-time high price of $1,837. The smart-contracts giant has suffered a slight correction in the past 24 hours and currently trades at $1,753.

Ethereum price can quickly jump to $2,000 

Despite the significant increase in value, Ethereum holders have continued to accumulate even more coins in the past two weeks. The number of large holders with 100,000 to 1,000,000 coins has jumped by six since February 6.

Additionally, the number of whales holding at least 1,000,000 coins and at most 10,000,000 also increased by one in the past week. The Eth2 deposit contract now holds 3.018 million ETH coins worth over $5.3 billion. The number of ETH coins locked in DeFi protocols has also hit 7.25 million, a number not seen since November 2020.  With this in mind, Ethereum bulls aim for $2,000 next as there are no significant barriers on the way up.
