Ethereum Surges as Whales Cash Out and Tether Moves Billions into Market
Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant price surge on Thursday, following Bitcoin's new all-time high after Donald Trump’s major win.
This rally helped push the global crypto market cap up by more than 3%, reaching $2.52 trillion, with 24-hour trading volume hitting $190 billion, as bullish sentiment took over the market.
As Ethereum gained momentum, crypto whales took the opportunity to cash out, selling off a total of $124 million in Ethereum.
Notably, one whale offloaded 25,000 ETH on Kraken for approximately $65.67 million, while another re-entered the market after nearly 9 years, selling 8,701 ETH for 24.05 million USDC, securing a $30.48 million profit. A third whale, who had withdrawn 12,001 ETH in 2016 for an average price of $8.58, saw a potential profit of $34 million, marking a 330x return.
