Ethereum (ETH) whales are taking different directions, causing a stir in the market. While an ICO whale has been offloading their holdings, another major entity has seized the opportunity to buy in at lower prices. 
<h2 id="ico-whale-offloads-millions-in-eth">ICO Whale Offloads Millions in ETH</h2> 
According to blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain, an Ethereum ICO participant sold $47.54 million worth of ETH over the past two days. This whale had originally acquired 150,000 ETH during the ICO from Genesis, paying $46,500 for the entire amount. Since then, the value of these holdings has skyrocketed to $358 million. 
In the past week, this whale also sold 32,000 ETH, continuing their recent pattern of unloading large amounts of Ethereum.

<h2 id="mysterious-whale-buys-the-dip">Mysterious Whale Buys the Dip</h2> 
While the ICO whale was selling off, a mysterious entity known as “7 Siblings” made a significant move by buying into the recent market dip. This entity re-entered the market, spending $66 million USDC to acquire 28,120 ETH at an average price of $2,350 per coin. 
This isn’t the first time this whale has made a bold purchase. On August 5th, amid another market crash, they spent $129.3 million USDC to buy 56,093 ETH at an average price of $2,305.
