Ethereum Whale Sells Over $30 Million Worth of ETH After Years of Inactivity
Awakened ICO Investor Unloads $29.35 Million in ETH: According to Lookonchain Reports
Breaking news, over $30 million worth of Ethereum (ETH) has been sold by an early investor who participated in the Ethereum Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This investor, commonly known as a "whale", has been dormant for years but recently started unloading their ETH in less than four weeks.
According to blockchain tracker Lookonchain, this whale sold 1,500 more ETH ($1.76 million) on May 3rd, making the total sold 16,500 ETH ($29.35 million) at an average price of $1,779 per ETH [1][3]. With Ethereum trading for $1,830 at the time of writing, thisWhales profit margin is substantial, as their cost basis was significantly lower [1][3].
While Ethereum's price remains relatively stable, these large sales are often monitored for insights into market sentiment among early adopters. When long-term holders begin to liquidate their holdings after years of inactivity, it can signal anticipated market tops, financial strategy shifts, or adjustments in risk appetite [1][3].
A similar report references a "2015 ICO 76,000 ETH whale" who recently deposited 2,500 ETH to a centralized exchange, leaving a holding of 11,000 ETH with a cost basis as low as $0.31 per ETH [4]. This indicates the potential for extraordinary returns for early adopters and offers a glimpse into long-term cryptocurrency investment strategies and exit plans [3][4].
