An Ethereum address transferred 1,856 ETH, valued at approximately $3.78 million, to the OKX exchange, signaling a potential sale that would realize a multi-million dollar loss for the holder.
According to on-chain data trackers, the address had acquired the Ethereum approximately two months ago. A sale at the current market price would result in a realized loss of $1.89 million for the investor, representing a significant capitulation event from a single holder.
The transfer comes as Ethereum and other altcoins face downward pressure, largely influenced by Bitcoin's recent price movements. The deposit to a centralized exchange like OKX typically indicates an intent to sell, which could introduce localized selling pressure on the platform's ETH/USD and ETH/USDT pairs.
This action highlights the risk faced by traders who entered the market at higher price points earlier in the year. Should other large-scale holders who bought during the same period follow suit, it could negatively influence broader market sentiment for Ethereum in the short term.
