Let’s dig deeper.transactions from the wallet tagged “TWGHNc” and another wallet, “0x7a95,” has drawn attention due to their synchronized activities, suggesting a possible connection between them.
The pattern of deposits and withdrawals, such as the $5.4 million deposit to HTX by TWGHNc on February 7 and the closely timed withdrawal of a similar value in ETH by 0x7a95 from HTX, alongside the large USDT deposit to Binance followed by a substantial ETH withdrawal, adds to the speculation about these wallets’ ownership or control.
Moreover, another deposit of 50 million USDT to Binance by TWGHNc on February 1 was followed by a withdrawal of 9,959 ETH from the exchange by 0x7a95 on February 12. These transactions, particularly the large movements from HTX, hint at the possibility that the wallet could be associated with Sun.
Ethereum Price Surge
Ethereum’s price has been rising significantly, indicating a bullish trend in the market. The asset has surpassed the $2,900 mark and shows strong momentum towards surpassing its annual peak price of $3,600.
The surge in Ethereum’s price is not only due to whale activities but also because major institutions are showing interest in spot Ethereum ETFs. Institutions such as Fidelity, Ark 21Shares, Grayscale, VanEck, Invesco, Galaxy, and Hashdex are looking to enter the Ethereum market after the success of similar products for Bitcoin.
