Ether Whale Waits 2.5 Years But Exits Early—Misses Out on $27M Profit

After holding onto 10,000 Ether for nearly two and a half years, one early investor finally decided to sell—but the exit came at a price. According to on-chain data shared by Lookonchain, the anonymous whale had acquired their entire ETH stack in late 2022 for about $13 million, paying an average of $1,295 per coin. Fast forward 900 days, and the investor sold all their tokens at around $1,578 each, securing a modest profit of $2.75 million. But here’s the kicker: had they sold when Ether peaked above $4,000, their profit could have ballooned to over $27 million. The missed opportunity underscores a classic dilemma in crypto—holding long-term can pay off, but timing the top is nearly impossible. On Dec. 9, ETH touched $4,015, yet the whale held on, perhaps expecting more. Unfortunately, when Ether started tumbling alongside the broader market, they decided it was finally time to let go. Market Pain Spreads to Trump-Tied Crypto Project The whale’s decision came during a brutal week for crypto. At the time of sale, Ether was already in a downward spiral, slipping 24% in just seven days to trade near $1,426. Much of this drawdown has been attributed to global market unease, particularly after a wave of tariffs introduced by the Trump administration rattled investor confidence. Ironically, even a crypto project reportedly tied to Donald Trump wasn’t spared. Lookonchain identified a wallet potentially connected to World Liberty Financial (WLF) that dumped 5,471 ETH for $8 million—selling at $1,465 per token. This is a steep loss compared to their estimated buy-in price of $3,259. Before the sale, WLF’s wallet held over 67,000 ETH. High-Stakes Moves and Ether Liquidations Elsewhere, whales are being forced to act. One investor moved quickly on April 7, injecting 10,000 ETH (worth over $14.5 million) into their own position to avoid liquidation on a massive 220,000 ETH stake—valued north of $300 million. Another wasn’t as fortunate. A day earlier, a separate whale lost 67,570 ETH —worth approximately $106 million—when their holdings on DeFi platform Sky were liquidated due to price slippage. The past week has been a sobering reminder that even deep pockets can’t escape crypto’s volatility.
