Large-scale Ethereum purchases by institutional entities like World Liberty Financial can significantly influence market dynamics. Following this move, the Ethereum price has seen a notable increase of 2% over the past day, with the token hitting a daily high of $3,763 earlier today. Ethereum is currently facing a bullish momentum, boasting massive surges of 20% and 67% over the past week and month, respectively.

Whales and Institutions Flock to ETH

The World Liberty Financial’s increasing ETH accumulation goes in line with the growing institutional interest in the token. Recently, large players like SharpLink and Bitmine have scooped Ethereum, expanding their treasuries. Investment giant BlackRock has also been increasingly eyeing Ethereum, diversifying its focus beyond Bitcoin.

Amid this increasing demand for institutional-grade ETH investments, another major project has emerged—Ether Machine. As CoinGape reported recently, the $1.6 billion Ether Machine is backed by major industry leaders like Archetype, Blockchain.com, Pantera Capital, Electric Capital, and Kraken.

Beyond institutions, large crypto holders, or ‘whales,’ are also increasingly shifting their focus to Ethereum. For instance, a decade-dormant ICO-era Ethereum whale moved 1 ETH, with an unrealized profit of $2.44 million still on the table.
