An early backer of Ethereum, identified as 0xd64A, sold 11,552 ETH for about $23.42 million at roughly $2,027 per coin in the last hour. This investor originally bought 38,800 ETH during the 2014 ICO for just $12,000, when the price was around $0.31 per token. Today, that original position is worth around $79.5 million, showing one of the biggest returns for long-term crypto holders. The recent sale appears to be profit-taking after more than a decade of holding.
