ETH-2,76%
AAVE-4,46%

Gate News message. On April 2, according to on-chain analysts monitoring, a 2016 ancient ETH whale with an extremely low cost basis of $203.22 fell asleep for one month and then woke up yesterday (April 1). Immediately afterward, it rapidly consolidated addresses, depositing 3,915 ETH and 24,000 AAVE into a certain CEX, seemingly for sale, for a total value of about $10.72 million. After the deposits, only 52 ETH remained on-chain; after nearly 10 years of holding Ethereum, the whale has nearly fully exited.
