<p>SpotOnChain pointed out that the respective whale probably goes by the name Abraxas Capital. The whale reportedly redeemed a massive amount of nearly 60K during the above-mentioned period. According to the analytics provider, this figure equals almost $203 million. In addition to this, SpotOnChain also revealed the source of the respective withdrawal.</p> 
<p>The analytics company brought to the front that the whale extracted the $ETH tokens from the popular crypto exchange Bitfinex. Bitfinex stands among the oldest operating crypto exchanges. It emerged back in 2012 under iFinex Inc. which also owns the biggest stablecoin Tether ($USDT). Bitfinex reportedly offers substantial liquidity for Bitcoin pairs along with other famous altcoins such as $XMR and $ETH.</p>

<p>Following that withdrawal, the whale lent the tokens to Spark for borrowing $119 million in stablecoins. After that, it deposited the respective coins to the top crypto exchange <a href="https://www.binance.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Binance</a>. As a result of this, the price of the $ETH token rose by 3% during 17 hours. This indicates that the whale made $6.27 million in terms of unrealized profit.</p>
