However, the whale wallet transferred 145,000 ETH to multiple wallets, unlike in 2019, when the owner sent 5,000 ETH to crypto exchange Bitfinex. There is no confirmation that the wallet owner wanted to sell that amount of ETH, as it just moved to multiple wallets. The action is not significant enough to start the market dump. Now, it is still speculation about the intention of this action.
With the upcoming ‘The Merge’ event in September, many speculations appeared in the community. People believe “buy the rumor, sell the news” will happen. Therefore, with the recent information, the prediction that a similar thing will occur made them talk about it.
