Ethereum goes red as active addresses, deposits spike

Ethereum has seen significant gains since Sept. 12, when its price dropped to $1,530. However, the asset shows signs of a decline as active addresses and deposits incline.

According to data provided by the market intelligence platform Santiment, the number of active ETH deposits into exchanges rose by around 39.5% over the past three days — from 12,800 on Sept. 17 to 17,734 transactions in a 24-hour time frame at the time of writing.

In addition, the number of daily active addresses registered an 11% hike in the same time frame — rising from around 357,200 to 396,150 wallets over the past three days. However, the amount of ETH inflow to exchanges has dropped significantly.

Per Santiment, 13,437 ETH entered the exchanges in the past 24 hours. This is 46.6% down from the 25,166 tokens that flowed into the platforms on Sept. 19.

This pattern might suggest a short squeeze for the Ethereum price since data shows that smaller investors rather than whales could drive most of the exchange inflow. 

Moreover, according to Santiment data, the number of whale transactions consisting of at least $100,000 worth of ETH declined from 2,892 to 2,538 transactions over the past day. 

Wallet shorting Ethereum

Data provided by Perps Watcher shows the address of the former CFO of Frog Nation, known as sifu.eth, has been consistently rising stake in ETH short positions since Sept. 12. The wallet has shorted 12,132.31 ETH — currently worth roughly $19.8 million — with a 4.08x leverage in total so far.

Despite the Ethereum price incline over the past eight days, sifu.eth is still down by around $80,000 in unrealized PNL (profit and loss). 

Ethereum is down by 1.25% in the past 24 hours and trading at $1,630 at the time of writing. The asset’s market cap is $195 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $4.5 billion — down by $17%.

Solana traders prepare for FTX-induced sell pressure on SOL — Is it premature?

Image
Crypto traders are talking about SOL price falling due to the risk of FTX selling its $1.16 billion Solana stake. Are they over-exaggerating? For a long time, Solana (SOL) has been associated with the founder of now insolvent crypto exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, Sam Bankman Fried. He was an early investor in the project and invested in numerous Solana ecosystem projects during the 2020-2021 bull mania. So when FTX collapsed toward the end of 2022, Solana and other “Sam coins” plummeted significantly, falling to lows of $9.89 — down 96.3% from the peak of $259.96. Since the start of 2023, Solana’s price staged a recovery to gain 175% to reach a peak of $27.37 as the ecosystem also witnessed growth. However, more recently, SOL came under tremendous selling pressure after the Delaware Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of FTX’s digital assets, which includes 55.75 million SOL worth $1.062 million. However, the unlock schedule of FTX’s holdings and derivative market posit

Tamadoge currently has five games in beta testing in its Games Arcade, which makes it somewhat different to the run of the milll memes coins lacking in utility. Play-to-earn giant Axie Infinity is up 33% in past 7 days – helps lift TAMA? Interest in the coin is perhaps being rekindled by the performance of the standout play-to-earn coin Axie Infinity, helping to refocus investor and trader attention on coins in the P2E games sector.  AXS is up 33% in the past seven days although is down 7% today at $11.90.
