<p>Ethereum (<strong>ETH</strong>) has been on a downward trend recently, and the situation has worsened with the Chinese government’s decision to sell 7,000 ETH seized from the <strong>PlusToken</strong> scam. This move has driven ETH’s price below $2,400, sparking concerns across the market. The potential for a much larger sell-off is creating anxiety among investors, who fear a significant price drop in the near future.</p>

<p>As <strong>The Bit Journal</strong> previously reported, the <strong>PlusToken scam</strong> was one of the largest cryptocurrency frauds, affecting millions of investors. In the aftermath, the Chinese government confiscated a large amount of ETH. Now, with 7,000 ETH already sold, there are growing concerns that the remaining 542,000 ETH could soon flood the market. If this happens, Ethereum’s price could drop below $2,000, adding to the already tense market environment.</p>

<p>The reactivation of wallets that had been dormant since 2019 has only heightened fears. The Chinese government has been distributing the 542,000 ETH across multiple addresses, making the assets harder to track. The sheer scale of these potential sales is causing a major impact on the market, with many investors closely monitoring every development.</p>

<h2 id="strong-mounting-selling-pressure-on-ethereum-strong"><strong>Mounting Selling Pressure on Ethereum</strong></h2> 
<p>The Chinese government’s large-scale ETH sales are creating significant selling pressure. In a similar situation in the past, the German government’s Bitcoin sale caused a sharp price drop for <a href="https://thebitjournal.com/bitcoin-solana-price-slides-investors-flock-to-lunex-network-for-gains/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a>. A similar scenario could unfold with Ethereum if China continues its ETH sales, putting the cryptocurrency’s price in a precarious position. Currently, Ethereum is trading around $2,400, but if the selling pressure persists, a further drop is likely.</p> 
<p>In recent weeks, large-scale sales from significant <strong>ETH holders</strong> have also contributed to weakening investor confidence. As a result, Ethereum’s price is experiencing increased volatility, leading investors to exercise caution. With the selling pressure growing daily, market uncertainty is only intensifying.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-further-downside-expected-for-ethereum-strong"><strong>Further Downside Expected for Ethereum</strong></h2> 
<p>According to technical analysis, Ethereum is trading at critical support levels. A fall below $2,300 could lead to a price drop to $1,800. Analysts are closely watching ETH’s price movements, as any large sell-off could trigger a sharp crash. If the Chinese government decides to offload the remaining 542,000 ETH, Ethereum will likely face a massive sell-off, which could lead to broader market downturns and increased volatility.</p> 
<h2 id="strong-conclusion-a-tense-moment-for-ethereum-strong"><strong>Conclusion: A Tense Moment for Ethereum</strong></h2> 
<p>With China’s significant sales and the looming threat of more to come, Ethereum investors are on edge. The <strong>massive supply</strong> entering the market may push ETH prices lower, impacting market stability. As The Bit Journal highlights, this is a crucial time for Ethereum, and investors must stay vigilant as the situation continues to evolve.</p>
