The cryptocurrency market is sending mixed signals today after Bitcoin plummeted to $38,000 dragging the market down along with it. The top Ethereum whales are making good use of the dips while accumulating tokens that are available at a discount. The turbulence in the market is likely to continue as the war between Russia and Ukraine is engulfing. Stability in the financial sector is nowhere on the horizon leading to fears of another crash.
Here are the top 3 tokens that ETH whales are holding on to this week:
1. Ethereum Whales Top Holding : Shiba Inu
