In an unprecedented event, a dormant Ethereum whale caused a stir across the broader market on Friday, heavily dumping tokens amid the hovering bullish sentiment. Recent data pointed out that the whale dumped nearly $224 million worth of tokens, raising price drop concerns among crypto enthusiasts globally. Despite that, ETH price soared today, setting off waves of speculation over future movements across the industry.
Dormant Ethereum Whale Wakes Up To Sell, Investors Apprehensive
According to the latest data by Lookonchain, an Ethereum whale that was dormant for eight years was revived and started selling. According to the data, the whale used various addresses to sell a staggering $224 million worth of the abovementioned token.
Notably, this whale accumulated 398,889 ETH at around just $2.4 million between January 18 and March 10, 2016, at an average cost of $6 per token. Following eight years of dormancy, the whale revived on November 7, 2024, and commenced offloading.
Meanwhile, the whale has been recorded selling 73,356 ETH, worth $224.42 million, the latest data showed. This massive dump brought selling pressure to the asset. Besides, the colossal amount of Ethereum remaining with the whale has sparked speculations over his future moves.
On the other hand, it’s also noteworthy that the latest Whale Alert data indicated nearly 20.8 million ETH dumped to Coinbase. Although these dumps raised bearish market sentiments, the top crypto by market cap has defied usual trends to trade in the green territory.
ETH Price Soars Defying Selling Pressure
Despite the abovementioned selloffs, ETH price today traded dominantly in the green at $3,337, up 5% intraday. Its 24-hour low and high were $3,147 and $3,428.46, respectively. Intriguingly, the monthly chart for the token showcased 29% gains. This bullish trajectory has raised uncertain investor sentiments over the coin’s future movements.
Further, Coinglass data pointed out a 10% increase in Ethereum’s futures OI to $70.79 billion. Moreover, even the derivatives volume soared 63% to $70.79 billion. This data further points to a bullish scenario for the token, adding to market speculations amid massive selloffs.
Additionally, a recent CoinGape Media report spotlighted key indicators that signal further gains for Ethereum price. Considering these bullish trends and the recent rally in the crypto’s price, it appears that market watchers continue to remain optimistic about the asset despite the recent selloffs.
