Diamond Hand Whale Moves 15,000 ETH Tokens
A significant movement in the Ethereum market has caught the attention of investors. Recently, a “Diamond Hand” Ethereum whale transferred a massive 15,000 ETH tokens to a major exchange. This transaction has sparked considerable interest among Ethereum investors and the broader crypto community.
Spot On Chain, a blockchain analytics platform, reported on September 22 through a post on X (formerly Twitter) that an anonymous Diamond Hand whale had moved 15,000 ETH, valued at $38.4 million, from their wallet address “0x682” to Kraken, one of the leading crypto exchanges worldwide.
Who is a Diamond Hand Whale?
A Diamond Hand whale is a term used to describe investors who hold onto their assets—whether they are coins, stocks, bonds, or other investments—for an extended period without planning to sell, regardless of market fluctuations or changes in asset value.
Data from Spot On Chain has shown that this particular Diamond Hand whale has previously conducted significant ETH deposits into Kraken. These transactions, both exceeding $30 million, occurred just before the price of Ethereum experienced a decline.
Strategic Transactions
The first transaction involved moving 10,000 ETH tokens, worth approximately $34.2 million, to Kraken on July 25, just before Ethereum’s price fell by 7.6%. The second transaction took place on August 20, with the whale depositing 15,000 ETH, valued at $39.7 million, just before a 2.5% decrease in Ethereum’s price.
These actions suggest that the whale’s deposits may have been strategically timed, aiming to execute transactions just before a price decline to mitigate potential losses. This behavior could provide valuable insights, potentially signaling an impending downturn in Ethereum’s price.
Currently, the Diamond Hand whale holds 26,639 ETH tokens, worth approximately $69.7 million, with an estimated total profit of $132 million. This substantial profit represents an impressive gain of over 86%.
