<p>“An Ethereum ICO participant woke up after 9 years of dormancy and transferred 1,111 ETH ($3.7M) to a new wallet. He received 2,000 ETH ($6.67M) at Ethereum Genesis, the ETH ICO price is ~$0.31,” Lookonchain stated in their report.</p>
<p>The ICO participant’s transaction coincides with the Ethereum network’s ninth birthday, following the project’s launch on July 30, 2015. This is not the first instance of an early investor resurfacing after a prolonged period of inactivity.</p>
<p>In 2023, another early investor made a similar move, emerging after eight years of respite to transfer 8,000 ETH, worth $14.7 million at the time, to a new address.</p>
<p>In a separate report from the same year, an investor who had received 60,000 ETH during the ICO created a contract and staked 4,032 ETH, valued at $7.4 million.</p>
<p>Ethereum whales, or large holders of ETH, have been progressively cashing out on their investments over the past few years. The number of addresses holding more than 1,000 coins has been on a steady decline, reaching multi-year lows, as evidenced by data from Santiment.</p>
<p>This trend aligns with the narrative of Ethereum ICO participants claiming value for their investments made during the 2014 ICO.</p>
