Crypto Whale Wakes Up After a Decade—Is He About to Crash Your Ethereum Dreams?
For ten years, Ethereum slumbered under the gaze of financial astrologers and speculators who, like nervous hens, pecked endlessly at their charts. The price flickered at $2,500—neither swimming nor drowning, suspended like some indecisive bureaucrat waiting for lunch. Above $2,600? Unthinkable! The ether gods giggled, ETFs dumped their coins, and yet… nothing moved.
Enter, stage left, an old whale—the wallet so dormant even mold feared to linger. Clutching ETH like a babushka guarding her last potato, this ancient entity suddenly stirs. Ethereum holders, quick to panic as fashionable St. Petersburg spinsters at a ball, started gossiping: would this be the great sell-off, the Disaster of 2025? Should we faint or simply refresh CoinMarketCap again?
From the Deep: A Transaction Scented with Age and Mischief
The loudest herald to trumpet this resurrection was Whale Alerts, who, in the manner of town criers and market fishwives, declared: “A pre-mine address untouched for 9.9 years (longer than my neighbor’s last bath) awakens! In 2015, the 2,000 ETH was worth $620—barely enough for a modest samovar! Now, $5 million! Oh, the cruelty for those who sold at $1.50!”
📢🐳
A dormant pre-mine address containing 2,000 #ETH (5,063,918 USD) has just been activated after 9.9 years (worth 620 USD in 2015)!

The whale, perhaps stretching after his nap, sent out a toe-dip: 0.0001 ETH, an amount so small it would buy you only existential dread. Moments later, 500 ETH—now we’re talking! This sizable hunk landed not in a forgotten piggy bank, but in “0x28C6”—known well to Binance, where coins go to disappear (or get sold, depending who you ask). Whether our whale is cashing out for a new carriage or simply bored of hodling… the plot thickens.

The sleuths at Etherscan followed the money, noting that the 500 ETH waltzed right into Binance’s arms. Perhaps the crypto exchange was expecting guests—“Liquidation for one, please. Hold the slippage.”
Brace Yourselves: 1,500 ETH Is Still Lurking 👀
The old whale address still lounges on 1,500 ETH—roughly $3.796 million, or enough to commission several portraits of oneself frowning at modern art. Will our mysterious benefactor sell and send Ethereum spiraling? Will he buy a dacha and disappear again for another decade? No one knows, but keyboard prophets everywhere are clutching their beads.
The market—a delicate, sickly thing—remains huddled at $2,500. If the whale dumps more ETH, expect chaos: panic, loss, and perhaps poetry. At press time, Ethereum is listlessly trading at $2,525, moving between $2,495 and $2,549, as if unsure which side of the bed to get up from.
Stay tuned, hodlers. The circus may be just getting started. 🎪🐋
