Three Arrows Capital buys 14,833 ETH on the dip
As reported earlier today, major cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, spearheaded by crypto billionaire Zhu Su, transferred a whopping 14,833 Ethers from the two biggest exchanges: Binance and Coinbase.
This amount of Ether equals approximately $56 million. It seems that the fund decided to purchase ETH on the current dip. At press time, Vitalik Buterin's coin is trading at $3,836 after dropping below the $4,000 level on Dec. 13.
Chinese crypto journalist Colin Wu adds in a tweet that on Dec. 7, the fund transferred a staggering 91,477 Ethereum from crypto exchanges to its wallet. That is the equivalent of $353,294,002.
Also, according to Wu, over the past week, Three Arrows Capital shifted a cumulative of 22,416 from the exchange.
In late November this year, Zhu Su posted a series of tweets, saying that he is abandoning Ethereum despite supporting the second-largest cryptocurrency previously.
