Three Arrows Capital Buys 100,000 ETH
Three Arrows Capital holds a hefty amount of Ethereum, despite CEO Su Zhu’s negative claims on the cryptocurrency less than two weeks ago.
The rant, which came on November 21st, coincided with data on Etherscan showing that the address marked “Three Arrows Capital” on Nansen transferred 17,895 ETH (worth approximately $79.23 million) to the FTX, sending a signal that the firm would sell its holdings.
However, recent Etherscan data showed that around 91,477 ETH (about $400 million) were transferred this week from FTX, Binance, and Coinbase to the wallet marked by Nansen as Three Arrow Capital.
Zhu tweeted following the discovery:
“Eth L1 still unusable for newcomers, show it to your grandma if you don’t, believe me, I’ll still bid it hard on any panic dump like this weekend obv 100k eth is dust for what it’s worth, more coming.”
Apart from making an attractive profit, according to sources, such transfers to a wallet could only mean one thing. Zhu’s firm is holding Ether with “no intention” of selling. Last month, Zhu meted out his frustrations at Ethereum, threatening that he was leaving the network.
“Yes, I have abandoned Ethereum despite supporting it in the past. Yes, Ethereum has abandoned its users despite supporting them in the past.”
In a tweet, he complained of how Ethereum had promised users a vision of the future, but “they have to to pay $100-1k per tx to enjoy it, and then get told some tales about how they should’ve been smart enough to buy ETH at $10.”
Last week, he and Elon Musk seemed to agree that Ethereum’s sky-high transaction fees on DeFi protocols were choking small investors, vouching for other low-fees networks. Despite Zhu presenting himself as one who would soon be dumping the second largest crypto asset, a more glaring question is, why would anyone sell an asset that has already made them such immense profit with nothing to lose.
Ethereum Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
The Ethereum price chart shows us that ETH has pushed up significantly during the week, as ETH made a strong recovery. If the current sentiment persists, ETH could push up towards $4500.
