Chainalysis Report: Cryptocurrency Whales Own One-Third of All Ethereum Tokens

During the Ethereum market research, the Chainalysis team found that only 7% of all transactions with ETH were whales. In addition, these whales do not have a significant impact on the price of the coin. According to the report, 30% of all ETHs are stored on the wallets of 376 people. It is worth noting that Chainalysis did not take into account exchanges. In fact, up to 60% of the capital in ETH is held outside of them. It was found that these 376 whales control 33% of the circulating supply in 2019, compared with 47% in 2016.

However, the Chainalysis team noted that their deals make the market more volatile. But despite the fact that the whales do not have a significant impact on the price of the cryptocurrency, we should not exclude the possibility of a short-term collapse or an unfair growth of Ethereum.
