Curve Finance Founder Offloads Coins Amid Price Rally

CRV price is currently on a rally, as indicated by intraday and weekly gains of 12% and 23%, respectively. However, Egorov’s selloff transactions amid this upswing have sparked market concerns about a looming dip.

How Many Tokens Have Been Sold?

According to data from Spotonchain on X, the Curve Finance founder transferred 1.997 million tokens worth $1.03 million to the wallet address “0x5a8.” Subsequently, this address sold 1 million coins for 515,058 USDC at an average price of $0.515. Currently, this address still holds 997K tokens.

Besides, Egorov sold 468,769 tokens for 238,171 USDC at an average price of $0.508, per March 24 data.

Why Were The CRV Tokens Sold?

Intriguingly, he purchased these tokens as of mid-December last year at an average price of $1.114. The initial investment made is now at a loss of 54.6%.

While the selloffs come amid a price rally, they might be a potential move to mitigate losses incurred. Nevertheless, broader market sentiments in light of these selloffs remain bearish.
