1inch Investment Fund Just Bought $10 Million of Ethereum (ETH), Why are Big Boys Stacking?

On August 28, a crypto wallet associated with 1inch Investment Fund, “0x225d3822de44e58ee935440e0c0b829c4232086e”, bought 6,088 Ether (ETH) at $1,655 spending $10 million on the trade, data from Lookonchain, a blockchain analysis platform, shows.

The fund is linked with 1inch Network, the decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregating protocol that is also one of the largest platforms by total value locked (TVL).

Big Players Buying ETH But Prices Under Pressure

1inch Investment fund has not laid down the reason behind their decision to buy Ethereum when prices generally appear depressed following losses roughly ten days ago. On August 17, ETH, like Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, dropped.

ETH lost roughly 15%, pulling back from around $1,800, and is yet to retest those levels at spot rates.

ETH candlestick arrangement on August 28 shows that the coin remains in a tight consolidation, moving horizontally and confined inside the August 17 bear candlestick. Prices are relatively stable, with lighter trading volumes, but in a bearish formation.

Ethereum is also changing hands at around $1,650 when writing, marginally lower than the spot price at which the fund scooped the coin earlier today.

1inch Investment fund move, while overly optimistic for ETH, is yet to spark demand and lift the coin from the current consolidation. The coin is lower, and the path of least resistance remains southwards.

Overall, the conspicuous bear bar could shape the medium-term formation unless there is a shift in demand, lifting Ethereum above $1,900.

1inch Investment Actively Trades Ethereum

Earlier, Lookonchain flagged several transactions associated with the fund. For instance, the tracker shows that the 1inch Investment cumulatively bought 17,000 ETH worth $26.8 million on different dates in Q1 2023. 

The average price, at that time, stood at $1,569. They liquidated 11,000 ETH at $1,906 for $21 million, realizing roughly $3.7 million in profit. 1inch Investment Fund now has 9,453 ETH valued at $15.61 million at spot rates.

Inch Investment Fund ETH stash: Etherscan

Besides accumulating ETH, 1inch Investment Fund holds over 23 other tokens, according to Etherscan. One of their largest holdings, as of August 28, is USDT worth over $31.75 million. USDT is the world’s most liquid stablecoin.

They also have a significant holding of Uniswap’s governance token, UNI, worth over $1.85 million, and only a minuscule amount of USDC, worth $52. Similar data from Debank shows that the fund owns $80.3 million of digital assets.

Do Kwon’s Detention Prolonged Until 2024 As Montenegro Responds To Extradition Requests

Image
According to an International Business Times report , Montenegro’s Supreme Court decided to extend the detention of TerraForm Labs founder and CEO Do Kwon until February 2024, following extradition requests from the United States and South Korea. Closed-Door Discussions Reveal Montenegro’s Plan For Do Kwon Initially set to be extradited to the US on December 15, Do Kwon’s fate turned when the Montenegrin High Court ruled to prolong his stay until February 15, 2024. The decision stems from charges related to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which led to significant financial losses. The High Court had previously ordered Kwon’s extradition by Friday, but his defense team appealed the decision in the appellate court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed that Kwon contested the High Court’s ruling, vehemently stating, “I do not submit to the court’s decision.” Recent reports indicate that Montenegro’s Justice Minister, Andrej Mil

Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Begins Tomorrow: 3 Reasons Ex-SEC Official Foresees Conviction

Image
The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and hedge fund Alameda Research, is set to commence in New York on Tuesday, October 3.  This comes almost a year after the collapse of both FTX and Alameda Research. The events leading up to the trial paint a picture of alleged fraudulent activities and money laundering that caused significant damage to the businesses involved. Ex-SEC Official’s Bleak Prediction As Sam Bankman-Fried Trial Commences In a nutshell, Alameda Research purportedly took customer deposits from FTX and invested them in fictitious crypto tokens, which derived their value from the confidence in FTX’s operations.  When this confidence waned, FTX and Alameda Research suffered substantial losses, which many argue contributed to a broader disillusionment in the cryptocurrency industry.  Following an investigation, federal authorities uncovered numerous alleged crimes, leading to seven federal fraud and money-laundering charges against B

April’s Crypto Game-Changers: 7 Events Set To Drastically Impact The Course Of Digital Currencies

Image
As the crypto market ended March positively, the industry gears up for an eventful April, marked by crucial developments and milestones that could significantly impact the digital asset landscape.  Crypto Halvings And Regulatory Deadlines The month starts with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) halving event scheduled for April 2nd. Similar to Bitcoin (BTC), BCH undergoes a halving approximately every four years, which reduces mining profits for BCH miners.  On April 10, the US is scheduled to announce March’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), a vital indicator that measures the average price change paid by urban consumers for a basket of goods and services.  The Federal Reserve closely monitors the CPI as it influences inflation and, consequently, the central bank’s decisions regarding interest rates. Any changes in interest rates can ripple effect on the overall crypto market performance. April 19 marks the deadline for the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US crypto exchange Coin
