Large Ethereum investors are quietly increasing their exposure to the altcoin following the recent move above the $2,000 price level. Another development acting as a catalyst to this renewed confidence is the latest remarks from Tom Lee about the asset\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n<h2>Tom Lee Backs Ethereum, Large Players Stack ETH<\/h2>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-potential-liquidity-trap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ethereum<\/a> is slowly recovering its upside momentum, a fresh wave of accumulation is emerging underneath the surface of the recent upward trend. This new accumulation is unfolding among large investors or whales, signaling renewed confidence in the asset\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Santiment, a popular market intelligence and data analytics platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/santimentfeed\/status\/2036117190798131292?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reveals<\/a> that wallet addresses holding between 100 and 100,000 ETH have been rising over the past 2 days. Within this short period, these investors have scooped up an additional 756,950 ETH.<\/p>\n<p>With the accumulation turning up during a price bounce, this suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/ethereum-news\/ethereum-whales-return-to-profitability-as-historical-bottom-signal-reappears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ETH whales<\/a> are taking advantage of the current state of the market to increase their exposure. Such action from large holders is usually interpreted as a sign of robust belief in the altcoin\u2019s long-term trajectory.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-671167 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C359\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=3097 3097w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ethereum-chart-from-Santiment-1.jpeg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>While large investors have been buying more ETH, small holders, those considered as shrimps, have been slowly offloading their stash. Since Mid-December, wallet addresses holding under 0.01 ETH have collectively dumped over 0.9% of their supply. This divergence highlights a shift in market confidence, with deeper-pocketed players leaning bullish while small investors grow more cautious.<\/p>\n<p>Given the influence of large <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-activity-active-addresses-set-new-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">investors\u2019 actions<\/a> on the market, the shifting of ownership into major players could lead to the tightening of supply, which might impact Ethereum\u2019s price performance in the short term. Should this continue, it is more likely to trigger a stronger upward move for the altcoin.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitmine Is Still Buying More ETH In The Face Of Volatility<\/h2>\n<p>According to Santiment\u2019s data, the increase in whale accumulation follows recent comments made by <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/tom-lee-bitmines-ethereum-losses-feature-not-bug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Tom Lee<\/a>, whose upbeat attitude toward the altcoin has contributed to the expanding bullish narrative. Tom Lee, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bitmine Immersion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/bitmine-immersion-technologies-bmnr-announces-eth-holdings-reach-4-661-million-tokens-and-total-crypto-and-total-cash-holdings-of-11-0-billion-302721764.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">stated<\/a> that the company\u2019s base case for Ethereum is that the auction is in the final stages of the \u201cmini crypto winter.\u201d The statement has simply fueled optimism as institutional voices and on-chain behavior start to converge.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the bullish statement is the firm\u2019s most recent ETH purchase, amassing 65,341 ETH over the past week. This figure marks a significant uptick in buying activity when compared to an average of 45,000 ETH to 50,000 ETH in prior weekly purchases. According to Lee, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ethereum-2100-bitmine-ramps-up-eth-bet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bitmine<\/a> has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of March 23, Bitmine owns about 4.661 million ETH, representing over 3.86% of the entire supply in circulation. Furthermore, this reinforces the company\u2019s position as the largest Ethereum treasury firm in the world, and the second global treasury behind <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/strategy-adds-1031-bitcoin-price-below-cost-basis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy<\/a>, which owns 761,068 BTC valued at a whopping $52 billion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/a3F9bfJN\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1636\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the price of Ethereum picks up again, bullish sentiment among investors has improved.
