Massive ETH Whale Transfer: Addresses Linked to Richard Heart Move 81,000 ETH ($323M) in 5 Hours; Prior 132,000 ETH Buy at $3,770 Reported

According to @EmberCN, a cluster of addresses suspected to be tied to Hex, PulseChain, and PulseX founder @RichardHeartWin transferred 81,000 ETH worth about $323 million within the past 5 hours, highlighting significant on-chain activity that traders track for potential liquidity impacts, source: @EmberCN. According to @EmberCN, the same address cluster reportedly purchased 132,000 ETH on-chain in March 2023 using 499 million DAI at an average cost of $3,770 per ETH, source: @EmberCN. According to @EmberCN, aside from 9,500 ETH sent through Tornado Cash over the past six months, the remainder of these holdings had largely stayed in place until this recent movement, source: @EmberCN. According to @EmberCN, the 81,000 ETH was redistributed across multiple wallets listed in the report, underscoring a notable consolidation or redistribution pattern rather than a single destination, source: @EmberCN. Based on the reported $323 million valuation for 81,000 ETH, the transfers imply a contemporaneous reference price near $3,990 per ETH, a figure derived from the author’s data, source: @EmberCN. Based on those figures, selling the transferred tranche at the implied price would equate to roughly $220 per ETH in gross profit versus the reported $3,770 average entry, or about $17.8 million across 81,000 ETH, calculation based on data from @EmberCN. According to @EmberCN, the thread does not indicate deposits to centralized exchanges or DEX routers, so the on-chain intent remains unconfirmed from the provided evidence, source: @EmberCN.
