Someone Just Sent $56M In Ethereum To An Anonymous Wallet

What happened: $56,964,234 worth of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) was just moved between 2 anonymous cryptocurrency wallets in a single transaction.

This mysterious person's Ethereum wallet address has been identified as: 0x1b3cb81e51011b549d78bf720b0d924ac763a7c2

$56 million worth of Ethereum was sent to an unknown recipient, with Ethereum wallet address: 0x214984f6f8b4197a9a32159ed17b72650331538a

Why it matters: Cryptocurrency whales that own millions of dollars in Ethereum tend to move markets single-handedly. If the whale decides to exit this Ethereum position, there could be enough market impact to push down the price of ETH. It takes about $15 to $30 million of sell pressure to move the price of Ethereum down 2% on any given exchange.
