Over the last 2 days, 0x837 has accumulated 4,374 ETH, worth around $14.91 million. These Ethereum holdings were subsequently staked into the Compound protocol, indicating a strategic move toward yield generation.
<h2 id="detailed-transactions-and-market-impact">Detailed Transactions and Market Impact</h2>
As earlier reported by Coingape’, the whale 0x837 deposited 300 billion <a href="https://coingape.com/pepe-coin-price-soars-as-vaneck-shares-cryptic-frog-meme-post/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE</a>, worth about $3.85 million, into Binance yesterday. This transaction resulted in a loss of approximately $1.73 million for the whale. 
The previous day saw the deposit of 1.1 trillion PEPE, worth $14.42 million, and the withdrawal of 1,210 ETH, valued at $4.1 million, from Binance. Concurrently, the whale had converted 1.4 trillion PEPE to 2,646 ETH, amounting to $18.01 million.
The average price for these transactions was $3,416, reflecting a strategic accumulation of ETH. The whale’s significant activity aligns with a broader market sentiment that has turned optimistic for Ethereum, especially with the potential approval of a spot Ethereum ETF by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) despite asking issuers to revise recently submitted S-1 forms.
<h2 id="anticipation-of-ethereum-etf-approval">Anticipation of Ethereum ETF Approval</h2>
The possible approval of a <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-etf-to-grab-only-20-of-spot-bitcoin-etf-flows/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Ethereum ETF</a> is expected to drive considerable institutional interest in Ethereum. Historical trends from Bitcoin ETFs suggest a strong demand for cryptocurrencies among institutional investors. 
However, as the market sentiment leans optimistically toward Ethereum, industry experts project that inflows into Ether spot ETFs could be substantially lower than those seen with US spot Bitcoin ETFs.&nbsp;
It is estimated that Ether ETF inflows might be around 33% the size of Bitcoin ETF inflows, with a possible range from 20% to 50%. This forecast aligns with the capitalization multiple between Ethereum and Bitcoin, suggesting that while the interest in Ethereum is robust, it may not reach the unprecedented levels observed with Bitcoin.
