Justin Sun, founder of Tron, has made a significant move in the cryptocurrency market by investing $5 million in Ethereum (ETH). This purchase marks Sun’s entry into the frenzy surrounding Spot Ethereum ETFs.
Spot On Chain, an on-chain analytics platform, has said that a <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ethereum-etfs-expected-to-garner-33-of-bitcoins-inflows-says-galaxy-digital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">large Ethereum transaction</a> could be linked to Sun. The Tron founder is said to have bought 1,614 ETH tokens at an estimated price of $3,097 per token. This transaction is in line with other recent activities of Sun in terms of investments, which show his strategic focus on Ethereum.&nbsp;

According to the data shared by Spot On Chain, Sun has been buying Ethereum at regular intervals since February 2024. He is said to have bought 362,751 ETH tokens between 2016 and the present at a total cost of over $1. 11 billion, with the average cost per token at $3,047. These transactions were done using three various crypto wallet addresses, which show how much Sun was engaged in the Ethereum market.&nbsp;
Additionally, Sun has recently transferred 45 million USDT to Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. This action hints at possible intentions of acquiring more Ethereum, especially in light of the fact that he has been getting ETH coins from Binance after deposits.&nbsp;
This comes at the same time as attention and FOMO in Spot Ethereum ETFs, which are on the rise. Recently, the head of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, talked about the plans to start trading Spot Ethereum ETF. This announcement has sparked a lot of interest in the crypto market as investors wait for a digital asset that will propel <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ethereum-eth-to-outperform-bitcoin-btc-after-etf-launch-foreseeing-strong-inflows-equaling-0-75-1-of-supply-post-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH prices </a>to the next level.&nbsp;
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-ethereum-whales-resume-accumulation-span">Ethereum Whales Resume Accumulation</h3>
There is a noticeable change in how the broader market perceives Ethereum. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that Ethereum whales are back in accumulation mode after a short period of distribution occasioned by poor Ethereum performance and price dip to $3,055.&nbsp;
Martinez’s analysis also shows that ETH’s valuation has been on the decline, but the large-scale investor interest or “whales” show confidence in the future of ETH.&nbsp; This new accumulation could be due to the expected effects of <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ethereum-etf-launch-analyst-predicts-eth-could-mirror-bitcoins-200-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Spot Ethereum ETFs, </a>which are expected to normalize the market and possibly push ETH prices higher.&nbsp;

Sun’s strategic investments have so far fetched a realized gain of $355,150 as the unrealized profit is $21. 07 million. This follows after Sun liquidated 10,000 ETH at an average price of $3,082.
While Justin Sun continues his Ethereum buying spree, other significant ETH movements have been reported. The Golem Project sent a large amount of ETH to Binance a few days ago. However, it has been claimed that they have stopped selling ETH and instead have staked 40,000 ETH in total.

Elwood Technologies has also been active, transferring 26,811 ETH worth over $84 million to Binance in the last three days. However, 24,463 ETH was withdrawn from Binance by some of the Elwood-related addresses within the same period.
As of now, ETH is trading at $3,143.97, reflecting a 1.3% daily gain. Despite being 10.8% below its position 30 days ago, a successful launch of the Ethereum Spot ETF in the United States could dramatically alter the market dynamics.
