What is a Ethereum Whale?
An Ethereum whale is a wallet holding more than $1M in ETH or ERC-20 tokens. Founder wallets like Vitalik Buterin, treasury contracts for Uniswap and Lido, and the major exchange hot wallets all qualify. Their transfers and DeFi positions often precede broader market moves, which is why traders watch them closely.
