Two major whales have moved 23.93 million Ethena (ENA), valued at 9.68 million dollars, out of Binance on Wednesday. According to crypto analytics firm, Spot On Chain, the first whale, linked to the wallet 0xb7d, withdrew 14.51 million ENA, at the price of 0.4048, which equals to 5.88 million dollars at that time.

Only 0.0883 ETH was used to pay for the gas fees, and the amount was transferred from an unknown source earlier today. The second whale, connected to the wallet 0x1ad, has sent off 9.42 million Ethena tokens, equivalent to 3.8 million dollars in value, and 11,018 AAVE, worth 2.15 million dollars. Notably, this is the first time the second whale purchases ENA and spent 410 thousand dollars in 2023, while trading only LDO.

Both of them are new to the Ethena ecosystem. They started 2023 investing in other tokens and pivoted to ENA recently. Such actions could have been taken earlier for the purpose of taking advantage of any future price differential or as part of portfolio restructuring. The amounts involved and the fact that they are executed in such a coordinated manner may signal that something big is expected to happen soon.

Ethena Price Trends

At the time of writing, Ethena is trading at $0.4043, which is a 2.20% increase in the last 24 hours. It has started drawing more attention after raising $100 million to introduce the iUSDe, a stablecoin for institutional use. This notes gives institutions a way to interact with cryptocurrency without actually owning it possibly increasing demand for Ethena.

From a technical perspective, there is a potential reversal pattern for the price to reach support levels, in this case in the chart. The relative strength index or RSI is bearishly oriented and substantially oversold in the short-term and medium-term time frame and the token has broken a descending wedge pattern. If the price aspires to rise above 0.63, then going above the level might create abullish mood in the market, while a break below 0.40 may culminate in more selloffs.

These large withdrawals taken alongside the increasing focus from institutions hint that Ethena may be on the brink of changes. Whether these whales are accumulating for the sake of a potential short-term price increase or are adjusting their game plan, the following weeks should shed more light on the future state of ENA.
