On February 18, 2021, Ethereum hit a new all-time high price above $1,900 as the asset’s rally continued. The new on-chain data now points to some of the underlying factors that might be propelling Ethereum’s current rise.

The outflow amounted to about 198,862 ETH (or $381.6 million as of writing), all through OTC deals.
