Ethereum (ETH) whales have capitalized on a recent price dip, purchasing $832 million worth of ETH as the cryptocurrency's price fell 3.6% since May 10, according to BeInCrypto. This accumulation occurred as ETH traded within a descending channel since April 17. Despite the price decline, whale wallets increased their holdings by 360,000 ETH, signaling confidence in the market's resilience. Meanwhile, Ethereum's derivatives market shows a decrease in open interest, suggesting that the recent rally was driven by short-covering rather than new long positions. Long-term holders, however, have reduced their accumulation by nearly 80% since late April, indicating caution amid elevated funding rates. Ethereum currently trades at $2,311, with key support levels at $2,298 and $2,269.

According to the announcement from Binance, the platform is set to introduce the next phase of its "Binance Learn & Earn" initiative. This program allows users to enhance their understanding of blockchain technology while earning cryptocurrency rewards by completing a designated quiz. The activity is scheduled to run from 2026-05-12 09:00 (UTC) to 2026-05-26 09:00 (UTC). Participation in this round is exclusive to verified new users who have not previously subscribed to Simple Earn Locked Products before the specified start date. Eligible participants will receive a predetermined amount of ESP tokens, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Users can begin engaging with educational materials, including articles and videos, and complete quizzes as long as token supplies last. Each Learn & Earn session can only be completed once, and users are limited to one reward per session. The ESP rewards will be automatically locked in Simple Earn Locked Products for a duration of 150 days, offering an annual percentage rate (APR) of 10%. Users will not be able to participate once all rewards have been distributed. Binance emphasizes that the actual value of the rewards may fluctuate due to market conditions. At the end of the subscription period, Binance Simple Earn will transition the locked assets to Simple Earn Flexible Products. Binance reserves the right to terminate the activity without prior notice and disqualify participants who violate the program's terms. The platform also retains the right to modify the terms and conditions at its discretion. Users are encouraged to stay informed about new projects and opportunities to earn additional crypto rewards through the Learn & Earn program.
