their Ethereum holdings by 3,200 ETH, equivalent to an impressive
$6.7 million. The buildup signifies a significant advancement
subsequent to the whale’s debut venture into ETH buys on July 5,
2022. Currently, their portfolio consists of a significant amount
of 183,740 ETH, which is estimated to be worth nearly $388 million.
This indicates an unrealized profit of approximately $155 million.

Gets Boost From Spot ETF Filing Last week, the price of Ethereum
experienced a significant increase, surpassing the $2,000 mark.
This spike was attributed to the confirmation by BlackRock, a
prominent investment management company, regarding their intentions
to introduce an Ethereum Spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). This
confirmation was made through a filing with the NASDAQ. According
to on-chain data, a group of financially astute institutional
investors engaged in significant purchases of Ether over the
weekend, amounting to millions of dollars. This activity is likely
a response to a positive news event that has generated optimism in
the market. Source: Santiment Related Reading: Immutable X Cements
