Ethereum Foundation’s Recent Sales and ETF Market Predictions
The Ethereum Foundation’s recent sale of 100 ETH for 345,179 DAI just hours before the launch of Ethereum ETFs has raised eyebrows in the blockchain community. Spotonchain, a leading blockchain analytical platform, reported this transaction, adding intrigue to the timing and sparking questions about the Foundation’s motives.
According to Spotonchain, the Ethereum Foundation has been actively selling off its ETH holdings in 2024, with a total of 2,366 ETH sold for 6.9 million DAI at an average price of $2,916 per ETH. The most recent sale took place 21 days ago, on July 2. These sales are believed to be part of a strategic move to manage the Foundation’s Ethereum holdings effectively.
In a surprising turn of events, another wallet associated with the Foundation and the ICO transferred 3,200 ETH (worth $11.2 million) to the Kraken exchange just 19 hours ago. This significant fund movement has left many wondering about the Foundation’s financial strategies and market outlook.
Chinese journalist Colin Wu predicts that spot Ethereum ETFs could attract up to $4 billion in capital inflows within the next year, with analysts forecasting a 24% increase in Ethereum’s price during this period. Currently trading at $3,506, Ethereum has shown strong recovery potential after a recent drop.
The timing of these transactions, especially in light of the impending launch of Ethereum ETFs, has sparked speculation within the crypto community. Could there be more to this story than meets the eye? Stay tuned as we uncover the mysteries behind the Ethereum Foundation’s recent sales and fund movements.
