While the number of wallet owners who move their coins after years, sometimes for security concerns and sometimes for profit sales, is increasing day by day, a new transfer was seen today. A wallet that has not moved in any way since 2014 when the Ethereum pre-sale was in 2014 and has not seen any transactions for 9.1 years has made its first move after many years.
Wallet contains 2 thousand ETH
The wallet contains 2 thousand ETH worth approximately $5.4 million. The total value of this wallet was only $620 in 2014. The wallet seems to have made its first move as a trial transfer. According to the information shared by Whale Alert; 1 ETH was sent from the address starting with 0x23569 to the address starting with 0xd371e.
Addresses hosting such large balances are known for making such small trial transfers before large transfers against any possibility of error. Therefore, this 1 ETH transfer may actually be a trial of a large transfer that will come later.
Bitcoin wallet woke up after 11.5 years
On the other hand, in the afternoon, a wallet that has not moved for 11.5 years and contains 25 BTC has sent all its BTC to another address. Whale Alert shared the information again. The total value of this wallet (25 BTC), which was last traded in 2013, was only $686 that year.
The current value of 25 BTC is around $1.5 million.
