Ethereum whale sells ETH after 900 days, missing $27M possible peak profit

The Donald Trump-backed crypto project, World Liberty Financial, may have also sold some of its Ether stash — but at a loss.

An Ether whale who had held 10,000 Ether for the last 900 days has sold their entire stash and missed out on a peak profit of $27.6 million when the cryptocurrency was worth over $4,000. 

The whale initially bought a total of 10,000 Ether (ETH) across two transactions in October and November 2022 for $13 million at the time for an average price of $1,295 per token, blockchain analytics service Lookonchain said in an April 8 X post.
