These transactions brought in a profit of 4.14 million dollars in 48 hours.
According to the data, 15 wallets (which may belong to the same person) purchased $47,670 ETH at $67.58 million USDC on March 10 at $1,418. He then sold 47,668 ETH at $1,505 for 71.72 million USDT. Whale earned $4.14 million in 2 days on this transaction, with a 6% return on investment.
Meanwhile, it was alleged that these 15 addresses may belong to the same person as they received a large amount of SHIB from the same “0x7617” address on April 21, 2021. This address started buying SHIB very early and bought 5.5 trillion SHIB at a cost of just 180 ETH ($400k) before the SHIB price rose sharply in May 2021. Then, in May and October 2021, he traded all SHIB for 35,000 more ETH through 34 addresses.
Later, on May 6, 2022, these addresses exchanged ETH for USDC. Now, most funds have been converted to USDT and concentrated at 15 addresses. Total funding equates to approximately 71.72 million USDT. Let us remind you that this whale started investing with only $400,000.
