A dormant <a href="https://u.today/ethereums-eth-surprising-next-key-price-targets-hinted-by-this-indicator" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum (ETH)</a> whale, which had previously been inactive, has resumed its activity and made a significant move as the crypto market experienced a sharp drop.
According to <a href="https://twitter.com/spotonchain/status/1748267491854561775" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spotonchain</a>, a whale revived after two years of dormancy to withdraw 5,580 ETH worth $13.76 million from Coinbase in recent hours. Depositing on exchanges often implies an intention to sell, while withdrawals might imply accumulation.

Notably, this whale was a big earner who made an estimated profit of over $31 million from ETH between Sept. 8, 2020, and March 9, 2022, before it entered dormancy.
Notably, <a href="https://u.today/ethereum-whale-snaps-up-4677-eth-in-bold-bet-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum whales</a> are taking advantage of the recent price drop across the markets to accumulate more tokens at a discount.
Cryptocurrencies fell on Thursday, with Bitcoin dropping back to around $40,000. Ethereum, which had surged in recent days while Bitcoin faltered, has also fallen. It was last down 1.25% at $2,484. &nbsp;
Spotonchain reports that another massive whale with $25.8 million in total profit from ETH has taken advantage of the recent market dip to accumulate more tokens. The said whale recently withdrew a large chunk, 3,600 ETH worth $8.84 million, from the Binance crypto exchange, buying at a lower price.
