A major Bitcoin whale who has diamond-handed Bitcoin for the last seven years sold off some of its bag to open a long position in Ether (ETH), joining a recent wave of Bitcoin whales opening up to Ethereum.
The OG whale sold 670 Bitcoin (BTC) for $76 million on Wednesday, then used those funds to go long across four positions, totaling 68,130 ETH, Lookonchain said in an X post on Thursday.
Before the sale, the whale had 14,837 Bitcoin worth over $1.6 billion, dating back to purchase from crypto exchanges Binance and HTX over seven years ago.
It came only a week after Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $124,128 on Aug. 14, and Ether almost reclaimed its 2021 all-time high of $4,878
