In an interesting development, a cryptocurrency whale woke up who participated in the Ethereum ICO 9 years ago and has shown no movement in his wallet since then.

The cryptocurrency whale in question obtained 500 ETH from the Ethereum ICO event he attended 9 years ago and paid a fee of $155. In the ICO program, the ETH price was set at $0.31. On the other hand, the current value of the wallet's assets is around 1.25 million dollars.

The awakened cryptocurrency whale sent only 0.1 ETH to a new address. There are claims that this may be a test transfer.

During that tightening cycle, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 16 times in a row.
