A Major ENS Holder Claims $74 Million in Unclaimed Ether
After a two-year dormancy, a prominent Ethereum Name Service (ENS) holder has recently claimed nearly $74 million in previously unclaimed Ether (ETH).
Key Points:
- The ENS holder, known for the “darkmarket.eth” domain, has re-emerged and recouped 39,712 ETH, equivalent to $74 million.
- The funds were originally tied up in a bid during the acquisition of the domain via ENS.
- 63,734 ETH (approximately $118 million) was transferred to an alternate Ethereum address.
- The founder of ENS, Nick Johnson, has guided the user in recouping their funds and shared the procedure for others.
- The whale’s domains, including “openmarket.eth” (worth over $18 million) and “silkroad.eth,” are part of the impressive collection.
Hot Take: The recent reclaiming of unclaimed Ether by a major ENS holder highlights the potential for significant funds to remain dormant in the crypto space. It also serves as a reminder for others to explore and reclaim any overlooked assets they may have.
