Fourth-Largest Ethereum Whale Pounces on Large-Cap Altcoin, Accumulating $580,000,000 in Crypto
One mega-whale just loaded up on an Ethereum (ETH) token that powers a popular crypto marketplace.
The blockchain-transaction tracker WhaleStats reveals that the unnamed wallet received 14,000,000 FTT, the native token of the FTX exchange. The transaction was worth $581,444,018 at time of sending.
The whale now holds over $1.2 billion worth of FTT with a total value exceeding $3.8 billion and is now ranked fourth on the WhaleStats’ list of the top 1000 Ethereum wallets, excluding the ETH cryptocurrency itself.

The trader says in a tweet to his 196,000 followers,
“Been a long while since I played FTT but I actually think a major bottom is in and we go to [all-time highs] from here.
Perfect ABC on super-high timeframes where ABC came below the 0.618 and bull/bear periods are almost 1:1 extension.”

Last week FTX also announced the launch of a marketplace for Ethereum-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
At time of writing, the FTT token is mostly flat on the day and trading at $42.73.
