New Wallets Accumulate Ethereum Ecosystem Tokens Amidst ETF Approval
Over the past week, new wallets and first-time accumulators have withdrawn a significant $76.95 million worth of six Ethereum ecosystem tokens from crypto exchanges (CEX). The tokens involved in these substantial withdrawals include Lido DAO (LDO), Ethereum Name Service (ENS), Ethena (ENA), Pepe Coin (PEPE), Uniswap (UNI), and Aave (AAVE).
