Interestingly, unlike many of the altcoins that he sold off recently, which went down in price after the news was disclosed, ETH is actually up slightly from his average sell level to over $1,720. Other Whales Are Buying Meanwhile, further data from the same monitoring resource indicated that other large market participants are buying en masse. A wallet linked to K3 Capital withdrew 10,000 ETH (valued at over $17 million at press time) from Binance. Another, related to Chun Wang, purchased and transferred out of the world’s largest exchange 7,650 ETH ($13 million).
