CRV Tokens Bought Over-the-Counter and Transferred to Binance
Earlier today, CRV tokens purchased over-the-counter (OTC) from the founder of the DeFi project, Michael Egorov, were transferred. One of Egorov’s counterparties, known as “0xb0b8,” received 2.5 million CRV for one million USDT in August and subsequently transferred 609,000 CRV tokens to Binance. This has resulted in investors who bought CRV from Egorov at $0.40 experiencing losses.
It remains uncertain why the transfer was made, but a few hours later, the OTC counterparty returned the 609,000 CRV tokens. The current trading price for CRV is $0.40, indicating a 3% decrease over the past 24 hours.
Egorov’s OTC Deals
In early August, Egorov sold 106 million CRV for $46 million in order to reduce potential liquidation risks associated with his outstanding debt across various DeFi platforms. These token sales involved transactions with entities such as Wintermute, Justin Sun (founder of Tron), and Jeffrey Huang (Machi Big Brother). The largest OTC deal was made with an anonymous entity that purchased 17.5 million CRV tokens.
These sales followed a 30% decline in the price of CRV to $0.50 after a security exploit impacted Curve Finance liquidity pools on July 30.
