Ethereum Whale Moves After 7 Years

The Lookonchain data showed a remarkable movement in the ETH space. One of the earliest participants of the ETH ICO, who acquired 1,000,000 ETH seven years ago, has now made a transaction after remaining dormant for years. The investor has transferred 150,000 ETH, worth $645 million, to a staking account on a brand-new wallet.

The investor put in just $310,000 across three wallets during the ICO. Now it is worth a whopping $4.3 billion. Having invested 150,000 ETH, he still has 105,000 ETH left, worth $451.5 million, spread across two wallets.
