Golden Finance reports that the monitoring data of Spot On Chain has revealed the brilliant operations of a “whale” in the Ethereum market. After making a cumulative profit of 30.45 million US dollars in Ethereum trading, this astute institutional investor quickly made a move, purchasing 16,500 ETH for 46.5 million US dollars, fully demonstrating his sustained optimism towards Ethereum.
Looking back on its trading journey, on June 10th, this “whale” sold 30,000 ETH at an average price of $2,621 through over-the-counter trading with the well-known market maker Wintermute, raising a total of $78.63 million. It is worth noting that this transaction brought it a profit of 6.72 million US dollars after being held for only 15 days, with a yield rate of 8.91%. Such high-yield operations within a short period of time demonstrate the “whale’s” precise market judgment ability and superb trading skills. Since April 27th, the total profit of this address in Ethereum transactions has soared to 30.45 million US dollars, with a return rate as high as 23.4%. This achievement is particularly impressive against the backdrop of the highly volatile cryptocurrency market.
However, surprisingly, just one day after selling the ETH, that is, 11 hours ago, the “whale” acted again, repurchasing 16,500 ETH from Wintermute at a higher average price of $2,818. This transaction cost $46.5 million. Although the repurchase price has risen compared to the previous selling price, the “whale” still made a decisive move. This behavior fully demonstrates its confidence in the future price trend of Ethereum, believing that the value of Ethereum still has considerable room for growth and is willing to increase its holdings at a higher cost.
From a market perspective, the trading behavior of whales often has a non-negligible impact on the market. When this “whale” sells ETH on a large scale, it may trigger a brief panic in the market, leading some investors to follow suit and sell, exerting certain downward pressure on the price of Ethereum. And its rapid repurchase operation will send positive signals to the market, enhance investors’ confidence in Ethereum, attract more capital inflows, and drive up the price. For instance, in 2023, there were also huge whales that significantly increased their holdings of Bitcoin, driving up the price of Bitcoin in a short period of time and drawing widespread attention from the market. This time, the operation of this “whale” on Ethereum may also trigger a chain reaction in the market, and the subsequent price trend of Ethereum may be affected by it and experience fluctuations.
Market analysts have also offered different opinions on the operation strategy of this “whale”. Some people hold the view that this “whale”, with its professional team and strong data analysis capabilities, can accurately grasp market trends and maximize profits through high-selling and low-buying wave operations. This repurchase might be based on its long-term optimism about the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. As an important public chain in the blockchain field, Ethereum has developed rapidly in recent years in areas such as smart contracts, decentralized finance (DeFi), and non-fungible tokens (NFTS). New projects and applications are constantly being implemented on Ethereum, and the prosperity of its ecosystem provides strong support for the coin price. Some analysts also pointed out that the operations of this “whale” carry certain risks. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and prices are influenced by various factors such as macroeconomics, regulatory policies, and market sentiment. If the market environment undergoes adverse changes in the future, the ETH it repurchased at a high price may face the risk of value shrinkage.
At present, all market participants are closely monitoring the subsequent trading dynamics of this “whale” and the continuous impact its operations will have on the Ethereum market. For ordinary investors, although the trading behavior of whales has certain reference value, due to the extremely high risks in the cryptocurrency market, they still need to remain rational during the investment process, formulate reasonable investment strategies based on their own risk tolerance and investment goals, and avoid blindly following the trend.
