A pre-mined stash of Ethereum, dormant for nearly eight years and now valued at roughly $116 million, has been moved abruptly. This transaction raises questions about potential market implications and whether it could trigger a notable price dip for Ethereum.<\/span><\/p>\n Eight years ago, during Ethereum’s pre-mine period, the wallet accumulated a total of 61,216 ETH<\/a>. Back then, the value of the tokens was around $18,976, but due to Ethereum’s exponential growth, the value has now escalated over a thousandfold.<\/span><\/p>\n The ETH in question, stashed in a single wallet address, has remained untouched since it was pre-mined. But in an unexpected move, all 61,216 ETH were transferred to an address associated with the Kraken crypto exchange. This transfer marks the end of an eight-year-long dormancy.<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 \ud83d\udca4 A dormant pre-mine address containing 61,216 #ETH<\/a> (116,396,127 USD) has just been activated after 8.0 years!https:\/\/t.co\/f79T0fYa7b<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Whale Alert (@whale_alert) July 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Rewinding to June 2014, the Ethereum<\/a> network staged a unique sale event.
