Ethereum (ETH) is about to make its fourth consecutive monthly exit through the gift shop, leaving investors wondering if it’s time to pack up the crypto yacht or start a GoFundMe for emotional support NFTs.
If ETH keeps tanking, whales will have to choose between selling at breakeven (aka “I’m fine, I’m fine”) or losing money so hard they’ll consider a side hustle selling crypto memes at the grocery store.
How Are Ethereum Whales Stuck Between “Meh” and “Uh-Oh” in December? 🐳😅
Data from the ETH Whale Unrealized Profit Ratio-a fancy term for “rich people who forgot how much they paid”-shows a steady slide over four months. Spoiler: They’re now basically broke.
The ratio has hit zero, which means whales’ average cost is basically the current price. No profit, no glory, just a bunch of sad coins and a LinkedIn post about finding purpose outside of crypto.
On the bright side, these whales are still buying like it’s Black Friday. Maybe they think they’re bottom-fishing? Or maybe they just really like holding ETH in a bear market. Either way, it’s a vibe.
“They didn’t take profits this cycle and are now buying more like it’s a clearance sale,” said CW8900, the crypto oracle we all secretly text for advice. “This price range is basically a ‘Buy One, Get One Free’ deal for ETH.”
But here’s the catch: If the market keeps its four-month freefall, whales might actually lose money. Two factors are making this scenario more likely than your ex finally getting back together with you.
Two Reasons Whales Might Start a Crypto Panic Party in December 🎉🔥
First, the Ethereum Coinbase Premium Index turned negative in early December. Translation: Prices on Coinbase are lower than Binance, which means American investors are probably selling like it’s the last subway car before the apocalypse.
This index has been negative for over a month. If Coinbase sellers get even more aggressive, ETH could drop so fast it’ll make the stock market look like a leisurely stroll.
Second, retail investors are MIA. On-chain activity for ETH is at its lowest since 2017-aka the “Bitcoin is $1,000” era. Without retail hype, ETH is just a lonely island in a sea of institutional indifference.
The ETH Active Sending Addresses chart is trending downward like your dating profile after a breakup. No retail buyers = no momentum. It’s like trying to start a party with only your cat for company.
“Without retail flow, ETH is stuck in ‘meh’ mode,” said CryptoOnchain, who clearly hasn’t seen the latest viral TikTok dance for crypto recovery.
And just when you thought it was safe to return to crypto… the realized price for ETH accumulation addresses is now at $3,000. ETH is currently at $2,800, teetering on the edge like a crypto tightrope walker. One misstep and it’s a free fall to $2,000!
Whales are now in a “sell or stay broke” dilemma. If they panic-sell, prices could drop even faster. Imagine a domino effect where every whale starts a “liquidate or die” meme war.
But hey! A recent Bitwise report says ETH could hit all-time highs by 2026. Maybe it’s time to start planning that crypto mansion in the Hamptons. Or, you know, invest in a real job. Your call.
