- Still holds 100K ETH worth $261M staked
Smart ETH Whale Begins Selling After Huge Gains
One of the smartest institutions in the Ethereum market has started taking profits after a massive accumulation just last month. In mid-June, this whale purchased $333.78 million worth of ETH. Now, they’ve begun selling, unloading 33,585 ETH for $85.38 million in USDC—averaging $2,542 per ETH.
This latest sale, which occurred in just the past 7 hours, resulted in an $806,000 realized profit. It’s a small part of the whale’s larger strategy that has already seen more than $30 million in realized profits from Ethereum trades.
Strategic Selling, Not a Total Exit
While the sale has caught attention, it’s far from a full exit. The whale still holds a significant position—100,000 ETH staked, valued at approximately $261.4 million. This indicates a long-term bullish stance on Ethereum, even as they lock in short-term gains.
The move reflects smart profit-taking behavior during a period of rising ETH prices. Selling some tokens at highs while maintaining a core staked position is a common institutional tactic to manage risk and secure profits.
What This Means for the Market
Whale activity often influences market sentiment, and this sale is no different. Traders may view the sale as a cautionary signal in the short term, but the continued staking of 100,000 ETH shows confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value.
Such moves reinforce the idea that while price surges are good for gains, large holders are still in it for the long haul. Watchers of @spotonchain continue to track these addresses for signs of future market moves.
