  • Fresh wallet accumulates 53,434 ETH in two days.
  • $138M worth of ETH bought during market dip.
  • Withdrawals made directly from Kraken exchange.

As the crypto market faces a downturn, savvy investors are seizing the opportunity — and one wallet is making bold moves. A fresh Ethereum wallet, identified as 0x2A92, has just purchased 30,069 ETH , worth approximately $138.46 million, during the recent market drop.

This substantial purchase isn’t a one-off move. Over the past two days, this wallet has withdrawn a total of 53,434 ETH, equivalent to $242.34 million, directly from the Kraken exchange. This pattern suggests a clear accumulation strategy, taking advantage of lower prices while the broader market shows signs of weakness.

Who Is Behind the Wallet?

While the identity behind the wallet remains unknown, the scale and timing of the transactions suggest it could belong to a high-net-worth individual, institution, or even an OTC (over-the-counter) desk accumulating ETH for clients.

Large movements like this often trigger speculation about future market moves. The fact that such a significant amount was withdrawn, rather than left on the exchange, also indicates the buyer is likely planning to hold rather than sell — a bullish signal for Ethereum in the long run.

Taking advantage of the market drop, the fresh wallet 0x2A92 bought another 30,069 $ETH ($138.46M).

What This Means for Ethereum

These withdrawals could reduce the amount of ETH available for trading on centralized exchanges like Kraken, potentially increasing scarcity. If other large players follow suit, this could create upward pressure on ETH prices once market sentiment shifts back to positive.

For now, the move underscores confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value, even amidst short-term volatility.
