Ethereum whale currently holds 94,540 ETH

In total, the whale has now sold 60,000 ETH out of their original 150,000 ETH received through the ICO. The offloading has made the whale a total of $149.68 million. Despite these large disposals, the investor still maintains a large Ethereum position.

Currently, the whale holds 94,540 ETH, valued at approximately $230.3 million at current market prices. As per EmberCN, the additional 4,540 ETH is attributed to staking income earned through platforms like Lido and Rocket Pool.

The movement by the whale comes as the price of ETH has dropped by over 3% in the last 24 hours. CoinGecko data shows that ETH is down by over 7.4% in the last seven days. ETH is currently hovering in the $2,400 level.
