The supply of the world’s second most valuable digital asset at leading crypto exchanges is plunging. ETH whale accounts are holding their assets in cold wallets. As a result, the price of Ethereum is rising due to limited supply. “Ethereum’s top 10 non-exchange whale addresses keep climbing, while the top 10 exchange addresses are falling. The ratio between the two has shown evidence of being tied closely to price, and this rise in ratio continues to be a good sign for bulls,” the crypto analytics platform, Santiment mentioned on Twitter.

Moreover, the whale activity of ETH has jumped substantially during the last few days. According to Whale Alert, a large ETH address moved 30,000 coins worth over $105 million from crypto exchange Bithumb to an unknown wallet. The mentioned transaction was executed on 13 October at 3:18 UTC. The transfer was recorded on Etherscan.
