Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, exhibited a brief upswing today, instilling confidence among investors.

However, a notable transaction occurred amid a marginal dip in the token’s value, shedding light on the ongoing battle between bullish and bearish sentiments.

Paradigm, an institutional liquidity network, executed a deposit of 6,500 $ETH (equivalent to $14.67M) into Coinbase a few hours ago. The strategic move by Paradigm, known for accumulating Ethereum during bear markets and divesting in bull markets, has contributed to the current slight decline.

Simultaneously, whales in the Ethereum market are capitalizing on these minor downturns, seizing the opportunity to accumulate more $ETH.

Whale “0x9314” recently expended $48M to acquire 21,192 $ETH at a price of $2,265 from the decentralized exchange (DEX). Notably, this entity has acquired a total of 79,980 $ETH ($143M) since the onset of January 1.

Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, withdrew a substantial amount from Binance, pulling out 11,267 $ETH ($25.3M) just five hours ago and a cumulative 17,433 $ETH ($39.2M) since December 26.
