✨ The "mummy" wallet from the ICO Ethereum era has awakened after 10 years of inactivity.

💸 It currently holds 1,000,019,913,073.12, valued at $2.5 million, which was purchased for just $310 (at $0.31 per ether). For the first time in a decade, the holder transferred a test 1 ETH to another address.

👀 Each such event is covered by the media, as there are very few of these silent wallets left. According to various experts, approximately 636,000 ETH (≈ 0.5% of the total circulating supply) is permanently lost or locked.

🥇 For comparison with Bitcoin: Chainalysis and Fortune have calculated that there are currently more than 1.75 million Bitcoin wallets that have been dormant for ten years or longer, holding 1.8 million BTC (around $120 billion). Analysts estimate the total number of lost Bitcoins to be between 2.3 and 2.7 million coins.

😨 Some coins are lost due to bugs in smart contracts, human error, and transfers to burn addresses. Always double-check where you are sending your assets!
