Whale Abruptly Accumulates 54,721 Ethereum Worth $154,400,000 in Just 32 Hours: On-Chain Data

February 19, 2024

A crypto whale has been spotted rapidly accumulating nine figures worth of Ethereum (ETH) in less than a day and a half.

First reported by blockchain tracker Lookonchain, an unknown entity withdrew 54,721 ETH worth $154.4 million from crypto exchange Binance and decentralized exchanges (DEXes).

Based on the history of the address in question, Lookonchain says it may be a wallet belonging to Justin Sun, Tron founder and advisor to crypto exchange HTX.

Lookonchain notes that the address made a massive withdrawal from HTX yesterday, and that Sun may be one of the only people capable of doing such a transaction.

“30 minutes ago, a wallet ‘TWGHNc’ suspected to be JustinSun deposited 50M USDT into Binance.

This wallet also withdrew 500M USDT from HTX yesterday.

Maybe no one except JustinSun can withdraw so much USDT from HTX.”

The firm reports a series of transactions showing funds flowing in and out of both HTX and Binance from the same wallet, which Lookonchain says is “too much of a coincidence.”

“TWGHNc deposited 200M USDT into Binance on Feb 18.

On the same day, 0x7a95 withdrew 29,875 ETH ($84.3M) and 100M USDT from Binance.

This seems too much of a coincidence.”

However, Lookonchain says that the possibility of the address belonging to Sun is merely a guess based on on-chain data.
