8 Years In HidingâNow $3 Billion In Ether Comes Alive
A major Ethereum holder that had been quiet for years suddenly moved roughly 200,000 ETH earlier today, worth about $800 million at current prices. Based on reports from on-chain trackers, the investor controls a total of 736,316 ETH spread across eight wallets â holdings that are now valued nearly $3 billion.

Expert Forecasts âPainful Deathâ The activity caught attention because several of those addresses had been inactive for years, making this one of the more notable returns by an early-era holder. Whale Moves Into Staking According to blockchain observers, the transferred coins were not sent to trading venues. Instead, the funds were directed into new addresses tied to staking services, including Ethereumâs Plasma infrastructure, where assets can earn yield while remaining locked. Two wallets that have been dormant for over 8 years just woke up and moved 200K $ETH($785M) to 2 new addresses.

On-Chain Records Point To Early Holders Reports have disclosed that much of the ETH came from Bitfinex and mining pools active around 2017. Some of the wallets had last moved funds about four years ago; others had been dormant for over eight years. At the time those coins were last active, their combined worth was about $30 million. That figure contrasts sharply with todayâs value, which approaches $3 billion, highlighting how much the asset has changed hands in value even for those who stayed put. Price Pressure And ETF Outflows Ethereumâs price was under stress when the whale reappeared. Based on market data, ETH dipped to $3,829 today, a low not seen since August. Reports show institutional vehicles have been selling recently: ETFs recorded roughly $547 million in outflows over four consecutive days earlier this week. On Thursday, all ETFs logged net outflows except BlackRock, which posted neither inflows nor outflows that day. That said, BlackRock had sold close to $27 million worth of ETH the previous day. These moves appear to have helped push the price lower ahead of the whaleâs action.

Still, the broader sell-off from ETF products has been sizable and may keep acting as a drag on price until flows stabilize. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
