An early Ethereum holder sold another 1,000 ETH on September 29 for about $2.68 million. That raised the wallet’s total sales to 2,000 ETH, with the remaining 1,000 ETH still held in the wallet. The position was originally built with 3,000 ETH bought at $18.80 eight years ago, and the disposals were described as delivering an estimated 156x return.
