Key takeaways

  • Whales are net sellers: -147,000 BTC since August 21, the fastest monthly decline of this cycle; long-term holders realized ~3.4 million BTC in profits during the run-up.

  • Structural note: Ethereum supply on exchanges is at a nine-year low (14.8 million ETH), a bullish supply signal despite short-term price pressure.
