Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov sparked a tidal wave of speculation across the market with his recent selloff strategies.

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.
CRV Price Overview
As of press time, Curve DAO coin’s price defied usual market sentiments and pumped 12%, reaching $0.5560. The coin saw a massive pump after hitting a $0.4927 low intraday.
Market analyst ‘CrediBULL Crypto’ posted on X, revealing bullish projections despite the crypto’s sluggish performance. As per the analyst, the CRV/XRP pair indicates a breakout for the Curve Finance token looms.
Considering XRP is still trapped in a range where it is looking for deviation below the lows, CRV is ready to pump, per the analyst. Market watchers reflect an uncertain approach towards the crypto amid recent developments that are unable to clear the muddy waters.
