<p>A wallet linked to the Ethereum Foundation recently transferred 92,500 <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ETH</a>, worth approximately $290 million, marking its first significant activity since 2017. This transaction has created a buzz in the cryptocurrency community. It is noteworthy because it took place two days after <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ethereum-etf-news-will-spot-eth-etfs-outperform-bitcoin-etfs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ethereum ETFs</a> went live, adding intrigue to the timing and raising questions over the exact reason behind such a transaction.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-major-whale-activity"><strong>Major Whale Activity</strong></h2> 
<p>On the other hand, on July 25th, a major Ethereum whale, who has made a $173 million profit, deposited 10,000 ETH worth about $34.2 million into Kraken just before Ethereum’s price dropped. Previously, this whale withdrew 96,639 ETH from Coinbase at around $1,580 in August and September 2022 and deposited 40,000 ETH into Kraken at approximately $3,422 since March. The whale still holds 56,639 ETH, with their total profit from Ethereum increasing by 113%.</p> 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-current-market-snapshot"><strong>Current Market Snapshot</strong></h3> 
<p>In other news, Ethereum’s market has recently declined as trading volumes for the new ETFs dropped significantly. Initially, the ETFs saw strong trading volumes, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ethereum-etfs-debut-with-record-1-billion-trading-volume/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">totaling $1 billion</a>. Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) led with $461 million in inflows, followed by BlackRock’s iShares Ether Trust (ETHA) with $244.7 million, and Grayscale’s mini ETF with $63.8 million.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>However, within 48 hours, Grayscale’s ETHE experienced a major outflow of $346 million, negatively impacting the market.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-eth-price-analysis"><strong>ETH Price Analysis</strong></h2> 
<p>Currently, Ethereum is down 4.8% over the past 24 hours, trading at $3,180, and trading volume has decreased to $25 billion. However, as per the market data, this shows an overall trading volume drop of 10.83% to $39.83 billion and a more than 50% decline in options volume. Despite these setbacks, a slight rise in options open interest and bullish long/short ratios on major platforms like Binance and OKX suggest some investors remain optimistic about future price movements.</p>
