According to the on-chain data platform Lookonchain, Erik Voorhees, an early Bitcoin supporter and founder of the cryptocurrency exchange ShapeShift, purchased 9,911 Ethereum ($ETH) approximately seven hours ago. The total value of the transaction was reported to be 20.38 million $USDC.
According to the data, Voorhees made the purchase using the stablecoin $USDC. This move follows a large-scale sale the investor made approximately a year ago. Last year, Voorhees sold 11,616 $ETH for $33.94 million.
Market observers note that such large-scale transactions can send important signals regarding investor confidence and market expectations. In particular, a prominent figure in the crypto sector reopening an $ETH position can be interpreted as a positive sign for medium- and long-term outlook for Ethereum.
On the other hand, analysts emphasize that individual large trades are not a definitive indicator of market direction, and that macroeconomic developments and overall market liquidity continue to be decisive in price movements.
Ethereum’s price has been volatile recently, and the movements of large investors (whales) are being closely monitored.
