Ethereum's early investors have recently sold off a substantial amount of ETH, with 169,770 ETH exiting exchanges in the largest daily net outflow since June. This movement was identified by blockchain analytics firms Santiment and Lookonchain.
The transactions involved two wallets, with 4,000 ETH being sold by early investors. This comes amid a broader market downturn, with Ethereum's price dropping 0.97% in the past 24 hours and 2.09% over the last week.
The total crypto market cap currently stands at $2.77 trillion, with 
Bitcoin also experiencing a 1.10% decline in the same period. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
This significant outflow could be attributed to profit-taking by large holders or a shift in risk appetite. The move is notable as it reflects a potential change in the behavior of Ethereum's largest investors.
Market observers will be watching for further developments, particularly if this trend continues and whether it impacts Ethereum's price trajectory in the coming days.
