According to the insights offered by PeckShield Alert, the exploiter moved 40,391.8 ETH in the past eight days, collectively shifting them to Tornado Cash, a decentralized cryptocurrency tumbler. This massive dump to the decentralized platform sparked concerns over ETH’s bearish movement over the past week. 
Valued at approximately $145 million, the abovementioned amount of ETH was shifted in eighteen separate transactions over the past eight days. Whereas, the ETH price also dipped remarkably at the same time, illustrating a 5.94% fall in the past seven days. This sparked concerns orbiting the above-mentioned colossal ETH dumps and its potential aid in pulling ETH’s price back. 
Meanwhile, the transfers PeckShieldAlert revealed backed up ETH’s recent dip, showcasing supply gains for the token on exchanges, even decentralized.
