Two major Ethereum (ETH) 
$2,960 whales, after long periods of inactivity, executed large-scale coin sales. Recently, an original Ethereum user, quiet for two years, sold 501 ETH valued at approximately $1.29 million. Simultaneously, another major investor, who participated in the 2014 Ethereum ICO and has been dormant for nearly a decade, transferred all of their 2,000 ETH—worth around $5.13 million—to Binance for sale. This activity coincided with a decrease in Ethereum’s price and a withdrawal from spot Ethereum ETFs.
Major Liquidations after Years of Dormancy
An investor, who joined the 2014 Ethereum ICO, recently moved 2,000 ETH from their wallet to the Binance exchange after nearly ten years of inactivity. Following this transfer, all of the ETH was sold, with the total sale valued at approximately $5.13 million.
Another major investor, known as an “Ethereum OG,” resumed activities after a two-year hiatus. This investor made a preliminary transaction of selling 1 ETH before offloading a substantial 500 ETH, equating to $1.29 million. This investor had previously conducted significant sales in 2023, unloading 2,286 and 1,500 ETH in two separate transactions.
These significant sales took place during a period of notable volatility in Ethereum’s price. While ETH rose by 6.65% on Sunday, reaching over $2,680, it decreased by more than 5% on Monday, currently trading around $2,580.
Outflow from Ethereum ETFs
Meanwhile, on June 16th, a substantial outflow occurred from spot Ethereum ETFs in the US, marking a net exit valued at nearly $10 million, or 3,748 ETH.
The largest withdrawal came from the Fidelity Ethereum Fund ETF, with 3,496 ETH withdrawn, totaling approximately $9.04 million. The Invesco Galaxy Ethereum ETF saw an exit of 172 ETH, equating to $444,392.
Additionally, the Grayscale Ethereum Trust faced a withdrawal of 78 ETH, while the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust saw a minimal withdrawal of just 2 ETH. Despite these daily net outflows, the weekly analysis shows a continued positive net inflow, with a total net inflow of 191,057 ETH recorded across all spot Ethereum ETFs.
