FTX Exploiter Transfers Ethereum

According to on chain data from Spotonchain, the FTX exploiter had activated his address for the first time after several months. The wallet currently holds as many as $16.75 million ETH tokens. In two spells of token transfers, the exploitered transferred 2,500 ETH worth $4 million each, the data showed. Such token transfers are usually associated with selloff activity, a move that could negatively impact the price for the small investors. Will the ETH price take a bullish trend soon with the launch of the various Ethereum ETFs in the United States?

Ethereum ETF Launch
