Today, the price of Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is experiencing a slight decline as it inches closer to the $3,000 mark.

ETH witnessed a low of $3,071 before undergoing a modest recovery, with the current trading price settling at $3,114. Notably, Ethereum continues to show a 1% loss in value at press time.

Recent on-chain reports have unveiled intriguing transactions involving significant amounts of ETH. Address 0x4E8…fA555 initiated a transfer of 8,150 ETH, valued at $25.64 million, to a Galaxy Digital OTC address, raising suspicions of a commissioned sale.

9,150 ETH Potential Relation With Recent Whale Transaction

This transaction comes on the heels of a similar move a month ago when the same whale transferred 9,150 ETH to the OTC address. Galaxy Digital subsequently deposited the ETH into Coinbase in batches, leading to speculations of a shipment. The opening cost of ETH at this address was approximately $3,371, with the suspected loss from the sold portion estimated at $2.53 million.

Adding to the intrigue, a fresh wallet, suspected to belong to Justin Sun, withdrew a substantial amount of USDT and ETH from Binance today. The transaction mirrors previous behavior observed from two wallets that withdrew large quantities of ETH and stablecoins from Binance.
