The whale, which earned $ 36 million by selling the Ether (ETH) it collected from the bottom at the top, now has its eyes on three Ethereum-based altcoins.
Legendary Ether trader is accumulating 3 altcoins from the bottom!
The cryptocurrency market has witnessed investors who have become millionaires in a short time over the past years. One of them, no doubt, was a crypto whale who made $36 million in profits on Ether trading last year. This whale now has 3 Ethereum-based altcoins on its radar and goes into accumulation mode. According to the on-chain analytics platform Looksonchain, the whale appears to be a smart money institution that buys ETH from the bottom and sells it at the top in 2022.
This whale we mentioned returned to the market this year and once again started tossing three Ethereum-based altcoins along with Ether. Looksonchain says the institution’s crypto wallet received 7,669 ETH from Binance on January 4 and February 22 at an average price of $1,492. Considering that ETH was $1,568 at press time, the whale already appears to be in profits of around $600,000.
According to Looksonchain, the whale has also received a total of 86,976 Compounds (COMP) from Binance since the beginning of the year, with the most recent trading on Friday, March 3. The average purchase price of the whale is $39 and COMP is trading at $46 at the time of publication. In this case, the whale is still about 600 thousand dollars in profit in the current situation.
Additionally, the whale purchased 83,815 AAVEs in two transactions in January at an average price of $57. AAVE is trading at $76.70 at press time. So, the whale is in the snow again, and this time its profit is around $1.6 million. The whale’s most recent trade on Binance is today’s purchase of $919,998 Uniswap (UNI). According to Looksonchain, the whale in question appears to be linked to IOSG Ventures as it uses the same Binance deposit address.

The price of APE has recovered from the key support level at $4,610 over the past 4 days.
