Coinbase Director Shares Details of Untouched Ethereum ICO Mysterious Participant Holding 250,000 Ethereum (ETH).
Coinbase Director said the individual had not made any transactions since the Ethereum ICO event.
Cornor Grogan, Director at Coinbase, has shared details about an Ethereum ICO participant that has remained inactive since the event concluded. According to Grogan, the ICO participant spent $75K during the ICO event, which saw him receive a whopping 250K ETH.
Grogan, who described the wallet as the most mysterious address in all of crypto, said the wallet has remained untouched since after the ICO with no single transaction made so far.
It bears mentioning that the Ethereum team sold ETH at $0.31 during the ICO. Interestingly, the $75K investment has surged tremendously to $402 million. Grogan also said the unknown individual received $6.5 million in airdrops by holding 87x of his or her initial investment.
Coinbase Director noted that the wallet was the only untouched whale he could find following his research.
This is the only untouched ICO whale wallet I could find
Imagine the mental fortitude of holding through multiple bull and bear markets. Though the far more likely outcome is they lost their keys ?https://t.co/emWdt2DL0h
