Ethereum ICO Participant Sells Over $113,200,000 in ETH in Two Weeks: Lookonchain

A participant in Ethereum’s 2014 initial coin offering (ICO) has reportedly unloaded more than $113 million worth of ETH in the past couple of weeks.

The crypto tracker Lookonchain notes the whale dumped 5,000 ETH worth $12.22 million to a Kraken deposit address on Monday, continuing a selling spree that started last month.

Since September 22nd, the whale has sold a total of 45,000 ETH worth $113.2 million. The address still holds 94,500 ETH worth $230.2 million.

Lookonchain notes the ICO participant received 150,000 ETH at the Genesis block for a total cost of $46,500, meaning the whale’s initial average price per ETH was $0.31. Having recently sold the 45,000 Ethereum at an average price of $2,516 per ETH, that means the whale printed 811,513% gains on the unloaded ETH.

Ethereum is trading at $2,437 at time of writing.

Lookonchain also highlights a different whale’s highly profitable memecoin trades.
