In an interesting development, a wallet associated with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin moved 1,300 ETH worth approximately $3.17 million to another address. According to transaction tracking platform Lookonchain, the transaction originated from the address “0xD04d” and was transferred to the address “0x5567.” This notable transfer has sparked a lot of interest among investors, especially since it coincided with a 5.6% increase in ETH’s price.

The large transfer has sparked speculation in the crypto community. The recipient address “0x5567” then transferred $74.17 ETH worth around $181,000 to the popular cryptocurrency platform Paxos. Interestingly, the two wallets are known to have previously traded coins. About a year ago, the address “0xD04d” sent 1,000 ETH, worth $2.45 million at the time, to the address “0x5567,” which was then deposited to the Bitstamp exchange.

Such recurring patterns of transfers often lead to broader market discussions. Previously, “0xD04d” received 70,000 ETH from another wallet, suggesting a connection to Buterin or his inner circle, and fueling speculation about the motives behind these transactions.

Despite the recent actions of wallets associated with Buterin, the price of Ethereum has increased by more than 5.6% to $2,431, with trading volume increasing by 49% to $21.91 million. The coin recently reached $2,452.57 and Futures Open Interest increased by 9% to $11.5 billion.

The broader cryptocurrency market has shown signs of recovery, partly due to the recent 50 basis point interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which has improved overall market sentiment. Additionally, Ethereum’s recent price trend and the bullish market sentiment have led some analysts to predict a rally to $5,000. This outlook is supported by a favorable macroeconomic environment and other favorable market trends.
