Today, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve's 2025 interest rate decision for Bitcoin ($BTC) and altcoins. While expectations are high for another 25 basis point cut in December, large investors have also become active.
According to Lookonchain, a cryptocurrency analytics platform, an ICO whale initially transferred a large amount of Ethereum ($ETH).
Accordingly, an Ethereum ICO wallet (0x782F) containing 850 $ETH ($2.82 million) transferred 1 $ETH to Coinbase after remaining inactive for over 10 years.
This wallet, which invested only $263.5 in the ICO, purchased 850 $ETH. These $ETH are currently worth $2.82 million, meaning a 10,684x return.
Another whale has bet on Ethereum's rise. According to the data, the whale with address 0x76AB sold $ETH in a spot position and then opened a long position in $ETH.
The whale sold 1,654 $ETH for 5.49 million USDC, invested it in Hyperliquid, and opened a long position of 11,543 $ETH ($38.4 million) with 7x leverage. The liquidation price was $2,907.6.
