Sun's Transactions Stir Speculation
Justin Sun, the founder of Tron DAO, has recently sparked speculation about a potential Ethereum (ETH) selloff. Sun has unstaked a significant amount of his ETH and transferred a portion to Poloniex, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange.
Large ETH Movements Noted
Data from Peck Shield Alert reveals that Sun unstaked 1,768 ETH, valued at approximately $5.9 million, from Lido. Of this, 810 ETH, worth around $2.7 million, was transferred to Poloniex. This activity has led to speculation that a large-scale selloff of Ethereum might be imminent.
ETF Flows Show Mixed Signals
Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen substantial outflows recently. On 29 July, Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded outflows of $98.3 million. Additionally, Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) experienced $210 million in outflows, continuing the negative trend.
Inflows in Other Areas
Despite these outflows, there have been notable inflows into other Ethereum-related funds. BlackRock, Fidelity, and Bitwise reported inflows of $58.2 million, $24.8 million, and $10.4 million, respectively.
ETH Price Stability
Amidst these mixed signals, Ethereum’s price has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $3,300 and $3,400 before settling back to $3,300.
The lack of a clear trend in ETF flows and the current price stability may mask underlying market shifts, making it challenging to predict the true impact of Sun’s actions and ETF outflows on Ethereum’s future.
