Ethereum Foundation Sales Grab Headlines, but the Real ETH Selling Is 87x Bigger

Source Beincrypto

A wallet linked to the Ethereum Foundation sold 2,000 Ethereum (ETH), worth about $3.87 million, on Friday. The wallet has now sold 6,785 ETH since October 26.

ETH now trades close to where its mid-August rally began. Yet the wallet’s sales look small next to the money leaving US spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds.

The Foundation-Linked Wallet Is Down to 11,000 ETH

On-chain tracker Lookonchain flagged Friday’s sale on X. The wallet placed two 1,000 ETH orders through CoW Swap, minutes apart.

It sold 2,785 ETH, worth $6.42 million, on October 26, then two batches of 1,000 ETH earlier this week.

The wallet now holds about 11,000 ETH, worth roughly $21.3 million at current prices. Lookonchain tied recent Foundation-linked sales to fresh ETH drops. ETF data, however, points to a much larger seller.

The Bigger Seller Sits in Ethereum ETFs

SoSoValue data shows US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $695.9 million in net outflows in November so far.

The wallet sold 4,000 ETH this month, worth about $8.03 million based on Lookonchain’s figures. The ETF outflows are roughly 87 times that amount.

The Ethereum ETF outflows have also been persistent. The funds bled money in 7 of 8 trading sessions this month.

Their total net assets fell from $13.22 billion on October 30 to $11.65 billion by November 11. BeInCrypto earlier reported six straight weeks of outflows from these funds.

Ethereum Price Tests the Base of Its August Breakout

ETH’s price has fallen over the same stretch. BeInCrypto Markets data shows ETH at $1,939, down 5.17% over the past 24 hours.

ETH last traded this low around August 18, when it closed at $1,917.85. ETH broke out of its summer range the next day and climbed past $2,500 within the week.

Analyst More Crypto Online said on X that ETH’s sharp decline has not yet signaled a bottom. The analyst said ETH has reached Fibonacci support at $1,920.51, with $1,832.78 as the next level.

The wallet’s remaining 11,000 ETH leaves room for more sales. Still, ETF flows are the larger number to watch for whether ETH holds near $1,920.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
