The latest crypto inflow to Binance comes as a surprise considering crypto exchanges around the world have reported massive ETH outflows in the last few days.

For instance, on May 11, a whale alert notified of a crypto transaction involving the movement of 30,000 ETH worth  $115 million from Crypto.com to an unknown digital wallet. The same day another large Ethereum address transferred 15,400 ETH on 11 May from <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/gemini-lets-dogecoin-investors-earning-interest-on-their-holdings/">Gemini exchange</a> to an unknown digital wallet.

While data from Glassnode indicates that cryptocurrency exchanges are currently holding nearly 12% of the total ETH supply, compared to 17% in September 2020.
<h2><strong>Ethereum is the 16th Most Valuable Asset In the World</strong></h2>
With its ongoing rally, data by <a href="https://8marketcap.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Infinite Marketcap</a> shows that Ethereum (ETH) has now outgrown corporate giants like Samsung and <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/jpmorgan-chase-to-launch-an-actively-managed-bitcoin-fund-says-report/">JPMorgan Chase</a> VISA. At these valuations, Ethereum (ETH) currently ranks the 16th most valuable asset class in the world.

An increased institutional inflow has also played a key role in the movement of the second-most valuable cryptocurrency in large amounts.

In its weekly digital asset fund inflows report, CoinShares a leading digital asset management firm mentioned that Ethereum investment products attracted $60 million worth of institutional inflows just last week.

Meanwhile, the latest jump in the price of Ethereum has further pushed the total value of Grayscale’s Ethereum assets under management to $12.5 billion. The company now holds more than 3.1 million ETH along with 650,000 Bitcoin (BTC).
