According to block explorer Etherscan, the funds were sent to an unknown wallet which also received 0.020 ETH (about $92) from a Coinbase wallet a few minutes after the massive transaction.
The destination wallet now holds 229,766.49 ETH currently worth $1.03 billion, making it the 34th-richest Ethereum wallet in the world.

The massive transactions were made as Ethereum hit a new all-time high. ETH breached a record price above $4,600 on Wednesday, and at time of writing the token is trading at $4,481, data from CoinMarketCap shows.
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe forecasted last month that Ethereum could surge to as high as $5,000, but warned that the coin could first see a price correction before rising.
