Ethereum Profitability Dumps To 2-Year Low As Price Corrects Below $2,000

Ethereum has been on a downtrend along with the rest of the crypto market. This has seen the value of the cryptocurrency plunged below $2,000 and efforts to recover above this major resistance level have been futile. Naturally, the decline in the value of the digital asset has affected its profitability. What has resulted from this is Ethereum wallets that are in profit at current prices have now declined to a two-year low. Ethereum Profitability Declines Ethereum remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap but when it comes to profitability, it tells another story. Data shows that the percentage of ETH wallets that are in profit has declined significantly in the last couple of months. Along with the price, most of the profitability decline has happened in the last six months.

This puts a total of 43% in the loss while only 1% of all investors are sitting in the neutral territory, meaning that they purchased their tokens at current prices.  Data from Glassnode supports this metric although it puts the number of addresses in profit at a slightly higher percentage. The data aggregation tool shows that 58% of all ETH investors are still in profit. However, what is notable about this figure is that the last time that Ethereum profitability was this low was almost two years ago, back in July 2020.

The long-term outlook for the smart contract network has always favored those who followed it compared to those in the short term.  Small Wallets Ramp UP Even through the downtrend that has rocked the digital asset, support has still not waned. Smaller investors have continued to throw their hats in the ring with Ethereum. This is evidenced by the growing number of wallets holding at least 0.01 ETH reaching a new all-time high. It is now sitting at a new record of 22,874,566 addresses. 📈 #Ethereum $ETH Number of Addresses Holding 0.01+ Coins just reached an ATH of 22,874,566 View metric:https://t.co/XXb0u19ouH pic.twitter.com/gYKCAAlgcZ — glassnode alerts (@glassnodealerts) May 27, 2022 This metric has hit multiple all-time highs in just the first two quarters of 2022. It shows renewed interest from smaller investors but unless this interest becomes evident in the largest ETH investors, there may not be any significant change in value.
