Latest data: The number of Ethereum addresses holding at least 1 ETH has reached 1.17 million, a record high

According to Glassnode data, the number of Ethereum addresses holding at least one ETH has reached 1,170,598 (about 1.17 million), a record high. (Note: The number of wallets holding at least one BTC reached 825,254 on the 4th of this month, also a record high)

In contrast, in July, the number of Ethereum addresses holding at least 1 ETH reached 1.076 million; by September, the number reached 1.126 million, an increase of 4.6%.

However, according to Decrypt, the increase is weak compared to the bull run in 2017. Data shows that on January 1, 2017, the number of Ethereum addresses holding at least 1 ETH reached 65,907. By January 2018, the number rose to 872,783, an increase of 1,224%.

On the other hand, the number of addresses holding 32 ETH is also hitting a record high. On November 5, Glassnode data showed that the number of addresses holding at least 32 ETH reached 126,852, a historical peak. Previously (since June this year), the number had been hovering around 123,000, with an increase of only a few hundred addresses. Analysts believe that users increased their holdings of ETH due to the confirmed release time of Ethereum 2.0.

According to Mars Finance, Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0 is scheduled to be launched on December 1. Before that, 16,384 validators need to pledge 524,288 ETH to the deposit contract to officially launch the Genesis Block. Data shows that 108,032 ETH have been deposited in the contract, equivalent to 20.6% of the total amount required to be deposited.

Data shows that among the ETH deposited in the contract, more than 24% of the tokens came from three "big whales". Bison Trails protocol expert Viktor Bunin pointed out that one of the ETH whales deposited 17,088 ETH on November 14, and the purchase cost of these tokens was $300. The other two whales deposited 5,504 and 5,024 ETH respectively.

According to Coco Finance data, the current ETH price is $475, the value of the tokens deposited in the contract is about $51.31 million, and the three whales have invested about $13.11 million. It should be noted that Ethereum founder Vitalik deposited 3,200 ETH into the contract on the 5th of this month, worth about $1.52 million. (Mars Finance)
