According to Crypto Rover, an Ethereum early adopter sold his remaining 2,001 ETH for $3.82 million, securing a profit of $8.66 million. Despite missing out on a $23 million peak value, this transaction highlights a shift in the Ethereum market dynamics with new investors, or 'whales', poised to take a more prominent role. This sale may influence short-term market liquidity and price volatility as new large-scale investors enter the market.
