One of the very first investors in ether moved all his coins eleven years later. Analysts at Lookonchain recorded one transaction involving the transfer of two thousand six hundred and eighty ethers to new addresses. This investor received his coins during the initial public offering of Ethereum in 2000. At that time, two thousand six hundred and eighty tokens were worth only eight hundred and thirty American dollars. Eleven years later, the market value of these assets reached five million fifty thousand dollars. With the possible sale of coins, the investor will receive a profit of more than five million dollars. The profitability of such a cryptotrader will be over six hundred and eight thousand percent of the initial investment. The average annual return of this early investor exceeds fifty-five thousand percent. Transferring cryptocurrencies to new wallets does not necessarily mean an early sale of the asset. This may indicate a willingness to diversify a portfolio or protect investments in a more reliable repository.

In recent months, many large holders of cryptocurrencies have stepped up the sale of their assets. On Tuesday, a major investor sold one thousand two hundred and seventy-four bitcoins worth eighty-one million dollars. This deal went through the Cumberland, FalconX and Galaxy Digital platforms. The day before, another major trader got rid of one thousand nineteen bitcoins with a total price of sixty-six million dollars. Over the past three weeks, this investor has sold a total of seven thousand five hundred and thirteen bitcoins worth almost four hundred and eighty-seven million dollars. On Monday, another of the very first participants of the Ethereum ICO transferred their MKR tokens. This investor accumulated forty thousand ethers in the year two thousand fifteen and for the first time in seven years moved three thousand five hundred and ten MKR tokens worth about four million dollars. From September two thousand eighteen to May two thousand nineteen, this unknown investor accumulated seven thousand twenty Maker tokens. These coins are utility tokens of the MakerDAO decentralized platform based on the Ethereum blockchain.

At the end of June, four wallets that had remained inactive for about eight years sold thirty-three thousand six hundred and twenty-three ethers in a few hours. The total amount of this large sale reached fifty-two and a half million dollars. The owners of these addresses recorded a total profit of twenty-seven million four hundred thousand dollars. The activity of early investors attracts the close attention of on-chain analysts. The movement of large amounts of cryptocurrency often precedes significant price movements in the market. Bidders are closely monitoring the actions of large holders of digital assets. Long-term investors get the opportunity to lock in significant profits after many years of retention.
