ETH Whale Moves 47,507 ETH ($207M) After 4 Years: Bitfinex Inflows, Tornado Cash Activity, $232M Still Held

According to @OnchainLens, an ETH whale moved 47,507 ETH ($207.38M) into two new wallets after four years of inactivity, traced to address 0x67f706db3bbd04a250eed049386c5d09c4ee31f0, which is relevant for near-term ETH liquidity monitoring (source: Onchain Lens; data: Nansen). The whale previously received 123,687 ETH (~$19.04M at receipt) from Bitfinex, routed 2,901 ETH (~$1.67M) via Tornado Cash, and redeposited 20,000 ETH (~$39.4M) to Bitfinex, indicating measurable exchange inflows that traders track for potential order-book impact (source: Onchain Lens; data: Nansen). The wallet still holds 53,278 ETH (~$232.51M), leaving substantial supply off-exchange but with distribution risk if transfers continue, warranting watch on further flows (source: Onchain Lens; data: Nansen). Exchange inflows are historically associated with elevated short-term selling risk and can pressure price and funding if sustained, so monitoring Bitfinex netflows and any follow-on transfers from the cited address is prudent (source: CryptoQuant metrics guide; data: Nansen).

Howard Wu: Blanket Bans on Privacy Tech After Tornado Cash Hurt Markets; Push for Compliant ZK on Ethereum (ETH) — What Traders Should Watch

According to @1HowardWu, vilifying all crypto privacy technology because of Tornado Cash harms the ecosystem and the U.S. should pursue compliant privacy solutions instead of blanket prohibitions, positioning this as critical for American leadership in crypto (source: X post by @1HowardWu on Sep 1, 2025, https://twitter.com/1HowardWu/status/1962508745591882103). OFAC sanctioned Tornado Cash in August 2022 for facilitating laundering of more than $7 billion, including funds tied to the DPRK-linked Lazarus Group, prompting U.S. platforms to restrict interactions with the Ethereum (ETH) mixer and tighten compliance controls (source: U.S. Treasury OFAC press release JY0916, Aug 8, 2022, https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0916).

Alleged Coinbase Hack Wallet Moves 5,514 ETH ($24.04M) via Tornado Cash – On-Chain Alert for ETH Traders

According to @OnchainLens, an address linked to the alleged Coinbase hacker (0x9b01b0545afe5b9957efc7945253e19b2ba07d9c) has received 5,514 ETH valued at approximately $24.04 million and has been withdrawing ETH through Tornado Cash. According to @OnchainLens, the withdrawals are occurring gradually rather than as a single bulk transfer, indicating ongoing mixer activity to disperse funds. According to the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Tornado Cash is a sanctioned mixing service used to obfuscate transaction trails, elevating compliance and tracing risks around related flows. According to Chainalysis research, mixers are frequently used by illicit actors to launder proceeds on-chain, underscoring the relevance of monitoring mixer-linked outflows for market risk awareness.

Tornado Cash Explained: How the Crypto Mixer Works for Secure ETH Transactions

According to @alice_und_bob, Tornado Cash operates as a privacy protocol on Ethereum (ETH), allowing users to mix their transactions and obscure the origin and destination of funds. This mechanism enhances transaction anonymity by using smart contracts and zero-knowledge proofs to break the on-chain link between sender and receiver, making it difficult for external parties to trace transfers. For traders, understanding Tornado Cash is crucial as its functions impact privacy practices, regulatory developments, and the liquidity of ETH on decentralized platforms. Source: @alice_und_bob.
