The Ethereum Foundation and Wallet Activity: What Does it Mean for Ethereum Peaks?
A recent post on X from market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock delves into a pattern observed in Ethereum’s history alongside previous market peaks. This pattern revolves around the netflows for wallets associated with the Ethereum Foundation, a non-profit entity supporting the cryptocurrency and its ecosystem.
- Analytics from the firm show a trend in the net amount of ETH (in USD) moving in or out of these wallets.
- During bull markets, negative netflows often indicate movement away from the wallets linked to the organization.
- Historically, significant red spikes in the indicator have coincided with market tops, suggesting strategic sales by the Foundation.
Despite Ethereum’s price increase in recent months, the indicator has remained relatively neutral, indicating no major sales by the Foundation during this bull market. This could suggest that a market top for the cryptocurrency is not yet in sight, or that the Foundation has altered its selling strategy for this cycle.
Separately, the Ethereum Foundation’s official email was recently compromised, as revealed by Tim Beiko, an ETH developer, on X. The organization is actively working to address this issue with the email automation service SendPulse.
In a subsequent update by Beiko on X, subscribers of the Ethereum Foundation blog were notified of the compromise and warned about an email announcing a “staking platform” that stemmed from the breach.
According to Beiko, the team is still investigating potential security lapses that may have led to the compromise.
