<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sun-buys-361-137-eth-across-three-wallets-spending-1-billion">Sun Buys 361,137 ETH Across Three Wallets, Spending $1 Billion</h2> 
<p>According to the affidavit, from February till June, Sun used three separate wallets to purchase 361,137 ETH at a total cost of approximately $1 billion. In February, with wallet “0x7a9” he bought 169604 Eth with an average price of $2,870 for 1 Eth. In April, 176,117 ETHs were bought by him through the wallet “0x435” with the average price per ETH at $3,177. Lastly, in June, he purchases 15,416 ETH using “0xdbf” wallet at the average value of $3,474 per ETH.</p> 
<p>These wallets typically obtained ETH from Binance instantly after Sun bought a batch of stablecoins. Cryptocurrencies also remain very volatile and investing into them is always a risky move as Sun has discovered recently.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="eth-price-drop-turns-justin-sun-s-58m-profit-into-66m-loss">ETH Price Drop Turns Justin Sun’s $58M Profit into $66M Loss</h2> 
<p>Just one day ago, it was reported that Sun had total a profit of $58 million in his <a href="https://www.ethereum.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ethereum</a> holdings. However, the drastic reduction of the price means the errant trader has lost $66 million, which was previously his gain.</p> 
<p>This case shows that digital currencies are highly volatile, and large value operations can lead to serious adverse consequences for investors.</p>
