A lot of movement in dormant Ethereum (ETH) wallets has been seen lately as longtime holders take advantage of recent price spikes. First, Spot On Chain announced that two major Ethereum holders sold a total of 33,701 ETH, which is worth about $89.72 million. The sales happened just as the price of Ethereum went up 13.75% in the last 24 hours.

The first major transaction was made by someone who participated in the Ethereum ICO. They had the wallet ID "0xB8c" and transferred 25,000 ETH, which is worth about $65.67 million, to the Kraken exchange at a price of almost $2,627. After the transfer, this owner is left with 64,450 ETH, which is worth about $181.2 million.
