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.
