On May 7, two whales dumped 19,090 ethereum (ETH), valued at approximately $35.7 million, on Uniswap.

Highlights

  • On May 7, two whales dumped 19,090 ethereum (ETH), valued at approximately $35.7 million, on Uniswap.
  • The sales came after Vitalik Buterin sold coins worth roughly $30 million on Kraken, a U.S.-based centralized exchange.
  • The panic may have set in when the first whale converted 9,950 ETH for 18.63 million DAI.
  • Shortly after, another whale dumped 9,140 ETH for 17.07 million.
  • The last time the Ethereum Foundation sold its holdings, ETH slipped into a prolonged bear market.
  • It is yet to be seen whether prices are currently peaking and if sellers will force the coin lower in the sessions ahead.
