The recent activities in the cryptocurrency market have attracted considerable attention, particularly due to the significant transactions made by large holders known as 'whales.' These transactions serve as indicators of potential fluctuations and risks associated with substantial investments. Investors closely track the movements of whales to gain insights into the altcoins they are focusing on.
Massive Transfer of LDO Tokens to Coinbase
An observant individual, @ai_9684xtpa, detected that a whale recently transferred 3.76 million Lido DAO (LDO) tokens to Coinbase about nine hours ago. This transfer, valued at approximately $6.89 million, is a noteworthy event considering the historical context of this particular position.
The investor initially acquired 6.94 million LDO tokens on April 12, 2023, at an average cost of $2.32 per token. However, the current market price has declined to $1.84 per token. Just four days before this transfer, the same investor was reportedly involved in selling 3.17 million LDO tokens. If the recent transfer to Coinbase is indeed a sale, the investor may face a loss amounting to $3.05 million.
Notable ENA Token Movements
Around thirteen hours ago, Lookonchain documented a significant movement related to ENA tokens. An ENA staker liquidated all 23.24 million ENA tokens, valued at roughly $17.3 million, and sold 19.36 million ENA tokens at a considerable loss.
The staker withdrew 23.24 million ENA tokens – valued at about $30 million – from Binance between April 5 and April 10, when the price of ENA was $1.29 per token. Currently, the staker holds 3.88 million ENA tokens, valued at approximately $2.74 million. Consequently, the whale has incurred a substantial loss exceeding $13 million from this particular transaction.
In a separate ENA transaction, Scopescan noted that an entity named Safe Multisig withdrew 9.3 million ENA tokens from Bybit. These tokens, amounting to around $6.9 million, were subsequently staked at Ethena Labs, representing yet another significant transaction involving substantial quantities of ENA tokens.
Despite the large sums of money involved, these transactions demonstrate substantial losses that underscore the volatility of cryptocurrency investments. Notably, the LDO whale has experienced a notable decrease in asset value, while the principal ENA staker has encountered even more significant losses.
