While the cryptocurrency markets were waiting for the Ether spot ETFs to open for trading in the US, a whale surprisingly sent 7,000 Ether to the Kraken exchange. After 6 months of inactivity, this wallet made its first transfer in 209 days.
In 2015, this address, which participated in the Ethereum ICO, obtained 254,900 ETH at a price of $ 0.311 at that time. Today, there are still 40 thousand ETH in the account that sent 7000 ETH worth 25 million dollars to Kraken. As it is known, such transfers are generally seen as a very clear sign of sale.
ETHEREUM TRANSFER FROM THE USA ON THE SAME DAY
Together with this person, the transfer of thousands of ETH from an address belonging to the US state did not go unnoticed. 3375 ETH worth approximately $ 12 million was sent by the US state to an unknown address.
This address is known for holding seized assets from two Estonian cryptocurrency fraudsters Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin. Some of the Bitcoins belonging to the duo captured in Estonia in 2022 were also transferred again on Friday. On that day, 11.8 BTC worth 720 thousand dollars exited the wallets and was sent to an unknown address.
These transfers made on two consecutive market days (weekdays) are seen as a sign that the US government will start to dispose of the cryptocurrencies belonging to the duo.
