This acquisition by the 1inch team comes after an earlier report highlighting the team’s actions on July 5th. At that time, the team had sold around 11,000 ETH at an average price of $1,906. As we have reported as Kriptokoin.com, the income from this sale was converted to DAI after converting from ETH to WETH, and all this was accomplished through a series of transactions. Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch, announced that the 11,000 ETH sale at that time was part of the team’s efforts to test new functionality in the Fusion mode.
The sleeping whale moves
Simultaneously, the cryptocurrency world witnessed the reawakening of an address that had been dormant for eight years. An address starting with “0x562” has recently resurfaced to sell a substantial amount of Ethereum. In the last two days, the address has sold 2,720 ETH at an average price of $1,651 per ETH, raising a total value of around $4.49 million. The way this address works involves the conversion of ETH to DAI after each sale. Interestingly, all 4.49 million DAI obtained were invested in Maker, a well-known decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. This move is in line with the current 5% interest rate and demonstrates the address’s participation in DeFi strategies that generate returns.
🚨 Whale 0x562 woke up after 8 years of partial dormancy and sold 2,720 $ETH for 4.49M $DAI at $1,651 on average between 35 and 20 hours ago.
The whale then saved all $4.49M $DAI with @MakerDAO at the current rate of 5%.

These recent events shed light on the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market.

Similarly, the resurgence of a dormant address sheds light on the opportunities and innovations that continue to emerge in the DeFi environment. As the cryptocurrency space continues to evolve, such transactions and activities serve as beacons of progress, providing insights into the strategies of leading players and the potential for further innovation in the future.
