Two early Ethereum investors from the 2014–2015 ICO period offloaded a total of 684,100 ETH to centralized exchanges, causing a 3.3% drop in the ETH price.
The whales purchased ETH during the ICO period when prices were low and have now realized profits worth millions of dollars, raising concerns about the short-term outlook for ETH.
One whale held 1 million ETH and deposited 959.69 ETH to OKX, while the other held 100,000 ETH and deposited 587 ETH to Kraken, leading to combined sales of approximately $30 million.
The movement of these whales is part of a larger trend of selling by whales, with a total of 684,100 ETH being sold in the last 24 hours, potentially signaling a bearish shift with the ETH price possibly dropping to $2,300.
