The first transfer from a crypto investor who made a 14,000% profit in Ether.

A whale who obtained 158 ETH by paying only 49 dollars in the ICO that took place in 2014 on Ethereum and has never moved their tokens until now seems to have decided to take profits after all these years.

According to the information provided by the on-chain data platform Lookonchain; Starting with "0x42D3", the Ether wallet made a small test transfer of 0.001 ETH after 11 years of inactivity.

The total value of 158 ETH in the hands of this person, who made a purchase of only 49 dollars during the ICO period, is around 695 thousand dollars.

This whale received a return on its long years of waiting with a profit of 14,177%.

Recently, the number of whales making profit realizations after many years in both Bitcoin and Ether has increased significantly.

Especially in July, the Bitcoin whale that had not touched its 80,000 Bitcoins since 2011 and sold for the first time in 14 years became a major topic of discussion in the crypto world.

The whale had sold its 80,000 Bitcoins in parts through the company Galaxy Digital. This whale had made approximately 10 billion dollars.

On the other hand, the transfers of many whale accounts after years may not only be for the purpose of selling. It is known that some old whales also made transfers to move to new technology wallets.
