 <p>According to IntoTheBlock, ETH concentration has grown by 0.15%. As of now, 45% of Ethereum (ETH) holders are large wallets. It is unclear if the large transactions had anything to do with ETH gaining some momentum in the markets. The coin is up by 0.9% over the last week, albeit it has slumped 0.8% in the last 24 hours. IntoTheBlock data also notes that 48% of ETH holders are currently at a loss, 49% are in profit, and 3% are even.</p>

 <p>Another positive development for the ETH ecosystem is the mainnet launch of the layer-2 zkEVM protocol Scroll. Scroll offers layer-2 compatibility for contracts written by EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). The project has been in development for more than two years and is a significant move towards more adoption for ETH. More than 100 projects have already been deployed on the Scroll testnet, which includes Defi (Decentralized Finance) and Web3 gaming.</p>
