Key Takeaways
- Large holders made significant ETH and BTC trades ahead of the Fed’s interest rate decision.
- SpaceX reportedly executed a large BTC transfer to Coinbase Prime Custody.
Large holders are stepping up on-chain activity as the Fed’s interest-rate announcement approaches.
According to Lookonchain, an early Ethereum ICO wallet holding 850 ETH, worth approximately $2.8 million, sent 1 ETH to Coinbase after ten years of dormancy.
The wallet acquired its original stash for just $263, meaning the investment has appreciated more than 10,000% with ETH now trading above $3,300.
Another whale also flipped from spot selling to massive leveraged ETH longs after unloading 1,654 ETH for over $5 million, on-chain data shows.
Bitcoin whales are also on the move. MARA Holdings, the world’s second-largest corporate Bitcoin holder, transferred about 275 BTC worth $25 million, with 175 BTC hitting FalconX, according to Arkham Intelligence.
Earlier today, Elon Musk’s SpaceX moved $95 million in Bitcoin to unknown addresses, though analysts believe the transfers were likely for custody purposes.
