A long-dormant Ethereum whale moved 50,000 ETH, worth about $145 million, to a Gemini wallet after nine years of inactivity.

Summary

An Ethereum whale address, dormant since 2017 when it acquired 135,000 ETH from Bitfinex, recently resurfaced. The wallet transferred 50,000 ETH, valued at approximately $145 million, in two separate 25,000 ETH transactions to a Gemini wallet on Sunday. Despite this large movement, the address still retains about 85,283 ETH. This event follows a similar instance of whale activity in the Bitcoin market where a 13-year dormant wallet moved 909 BTC. At the time of the report, Ether was trading down 2.8% over 24 hours at $2,859.
