According to experts, an Ethereum whale transferred 48,500 ETH to the OKX cryptocurrency exchange in a month. At the time of writing, these assets are valued at about $130 million. However, Lookonchain noted that the average cost of Ethereum (ETH) at the time of the transactions was $3,176.
If a major hodler sold his assets, he would have earned more than $154 million.
Note that at the time of writing, the whale’s wallets only hold 15.6 ETH, worth nearly $42 million, according to Debank.
The Ethereum rate fluctuates around the $2700 mark.
