ETH has only dipped below $1,900 a handful of times since 2020. If you had purchased ether between June 2022 and October 2023, as well as throughout 2020, you would currently be in profit.
Glassnode data reveals that short-term holders (STHs)—those who have held ETH for less than 155 days—are bearing the brunt of realized losses. However, long-term holders (LTHs) are also beginning to capitulate.
Meanwhile, realized losses have been primarily driven by whales holding 100,000 ETH or more, particularly since February, Glassnode data shows.
