 <li>A whale deposited over 39,000 ETH to the Kraken exchange.</li>
 <li>This marked Ethereum’s first positive flow in a month.</li>
</ul>
After experiencing several days of continuous outflows, <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/search/ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum [ETH]</a> has just observed its first significant influx of the month. 
The increase in the volume of inflow into exchanges could be attributed to a recent transaction made by a prominent whale.
<h4>Ethereum whale shakes up exchange flow</h4>
On the 5th of December, an <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/ethereum-will-alamedas-latest-move-affect-eth-prices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> whale that had remained inactive for five years initiated a significant transaction. The whale transferred its entire holdings to the Kraken exchange. 
Records from <a href="https://twitter.com/lookonchain/status/1731898303527186562?t=oruRh55zMT_K_387Xi5Oeg&amp;s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="external">Lookonchain</a> showed that this whale had acquired 47,260 ETH at an average price of $240 per token between June and August 2017. 
After selling a portion of its holdings previously, the whale has now deposited the remaining 39,260 ETH tokens onto the exchange.&nbsp;
At the press time market rate, these tokens amount to around $87.5 million. The anticipated total earnings for the whale from selling all the tokens are expected to reach around $78 million. 
This recent move has caused a notable disruption in the Ethereum exchange flow.
<h4>Ethereum inflow rises for the first time in the month</h4>
AMBCrypto’s examination of the <a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/ethereum-mempool-transactions-are-on-the-rise-can-it-impact-eth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> Exchange Netflow on CryptoQuant showed a consistent negative trend over the past few days. The trend signaled a prevalence of outflows from exchanges. 
However, there has been a noteworthy reversal in this pattern within the last 24 hours. AMBCrypto observed that the net flow turned positive at the close of trading on the 4th of December, registering an influx of over 15,800 ETH.

Also, as of press time, this positive momentum has intensified, showcasing the impact of the recent whale movement. The inflow has surged to over 39,400 ETH and could increase further by the day’s end. 
This shift suggested not only the influence of the recent whale transaction but also an overall increase in the amount of the token being deposited into exchanges.
<h4>ETH remains above $2,000</h4>
<a href="https://eng.ambcrypto.com/ethereum-can-reach-3500-but-only-on-this-condition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a> has exhibited a positive trend for five consecutive days, propelling its price significantly beyond the $2,000 mark.
