An early Ethereum whale suspected of selling 7,507.52 ETH over nine hours had accumulated 37,000 ETH at $1.50 per token in 2015, according to on-chain analyst Ai 姨, as cited by Odaily on November 10, 2026, at 10:15:32 UTC+8. The report estimated profit from the suspected sales at $15.93 million.
Reported transfers and conditional returns
Since September 29, the whale had transferred 12,163.52 ETH, valued at $28.54 million, to exchanges. The reported average price at the time of those deposits was $2,346.87 per ETH. If the transferred ETH was sold, the report put the return at 156,358%.
The wallet’s funding history was traced to August 2015, when it withdrew funds from ShapeShift.
What the figures establish—and what they do not
The key distinction is between exchange deposits and confirmed sales. The source described the recent selling as suspected and made the cumulative return conditional on a sale. The $2,346.87 average deposit price should therefore not be treated as a verified execution price, nor should the estimated profit be read as confirmed realized profit.
These figures describe a wallet’s reported acquisition cost, subsequent transfers and potential investment return. They do not establish a fair value for ETH or provide a protocol-revenue or token-holder-value-accrual measure.
