【Blockchain Rhythms】 Yesterday (December 16th) afternoon, on-chain data tracking revealed a major move. Two whale wallets sold off a total of 14,000 ETH within 2 hours, with a total value of approximately $40.82 million.

Specifically, the first whale address sold 10,000 ETH on a DEX at a price of $2,915.5 per ETH, totaling about $29.16 million. The other address took a more traditional route—selling 4,000 ETH in batches through multiple major CEXs (including a leading platform), amounting to approximately $11.66 million.

One transaction was on an on-chain DEX, and the other on a centralized exchange, employing completely different trading methods. Such a large-scale sell-off in the ETH market is quite notable, and many are pondering the underlying logic—whether it’s just profit-taking or if they have other market outlooks.

Whales' moves this time are really clever. They move through DEX, then CEX, and then again through DEX, just to avoid leaving any traces, haha.

Is the whale about to dump again? This pace is really a bit rushed.

When whales move, retail investors panic? Dropped 14,000 in 2 hours—how determined must they be?

The whale's move is too obvious, one DEX and one CEX, afraid of being watched to death... This is the rhythm of dumping.

Hmm... it's the same old trick. When whales move, the entire market becomes tense.

14,000 ETH dumped? It depends on whether it's profit-taking or trying to shake things up. The sheer size of it is indeed frightening.
