The aforementioned data source reported that earlier today, a wallet that belongs to the Ethereum Foundation sold 100 ETH for 345,179 DAI stablecoins. It happened just a few hours before <a href="https://u.today/ethereum-etf-gets-major-boost-with-new-york-stock-exchange-approval" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">spot Ethereum ETFs</a> are going live.
Notably, @spotonchain also shared that before the above trade was conducted, a wallet that belongs to the same entity and that is linked to the Ethereum initial coin offering (ICO), 0xdb3, transferred 3,200 ETH to the Kraken exchange. That amount of ETH is valued at $11.2 million, the X analytics account said.
