An unknown buyer has quietly purchased more than $1.15 billion worth of Ethereum in just seven days, marking one of the largest cryptocurrency accumulation sprees on record. The massive buying helped push Ethereum’s price above $4,000 for the first time since late 2021. The Billion-Dollar Buying Spree Continues The mysterious institution has now accumulated 266,165 ETH tokens worth approximately $1.15 billion over the past seven days, according to the latest update from blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain.

This suggests the buyer is likely a large financial institution or corporation rather than an individual investor.
