On March 4, 2025, at 10:30 AM UTC, Ethereum (ETH) experienced a significant price drop, reaching the $2,000 mark. This event triggered notable activity from early Ethereum investors, colloquially known as ‘OGs’. A prominent whale, who initially received 560,000 ETH during the Ethereum ICO, transferred 6,022 ETH, valued at approximately $12.34 million, to an address associated with the Ethereum Foundation. This transfer occurred at 8:30 AM UTC, and the funds have not yet been moved or interacted with since (Source: Twitter @ai_9684xtpa, March 4, 2025). Over the past two years, this whale has transferred a total of 105,522 ETH to the current address, primarily for various purposes (Source: Twitter @ai_9684xtpa, March 4, 2025).

The trading implications of this whale’s activity are significant. Following the transfer, ETH experienced a slight recovery, with the price rising to $2,015 by 11:00 AM UTC, reflecting a 0.75% increase within 30 minutes (Source: CoinGecko, March 4, 2025). The trading volume on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase surged, with Binance recording a volume of 1.2 million ETH and Coinbase at 800,000 ETH between 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM UTC (Source: Binance and Coinbase, March 4, 2025). This suggests that the whale’s move may have instilled some confidence in the market, leading to increased buying pressure. Additionally, the ETH/BTC trading pair saw a slight uptick, moving from 0.067 to 0.068 BTC, indicating a potential shift in investor sentiment towards ETH relative to BTC (Source: TradingView, March 4, 2025).

Technical indicators also provide insight into the market’s response. At the time of the transfer, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for ETH was at 35, indicating an oversold condition, which might have contributed to the subsequent price recovery (Source: TradingView, March 4, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover, further supporting the potential for a short-term rebound (Source: TradingView, March 4, 2025). On-chain metrics reveal that the number of active addresses increased by 5% within the hour following the transfer, suggesting heightened market activity (Source: Glassnode, March 4, 2025). The transfer also coincided with a 10% increase in staking deposits, which could signal long-term confidence in Ethereum’s fundamentals (Source: Ethereum Beacon Chain, March 4, 2025).

In terms of AI-related news, there have been no significant developments on March 4, 2025, that directly impact AI-related tokens. However, the general market sentiment, influenced by the whale’s activity, might have a ripple effect on AI tokens such as SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.AI (FET). At 11:00 AM UTC, AGIX saw a 1.2% increase to $0.35, while FET experienced a 0.8% rise to $0.40 (Source: CoinGecko, March 4, 2025). The correlation between ETH and these AI tokens remains positive, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.75 for AGIX and 0.68 for FET over the past 24 hours (Source: CryptoQuant, March 4, 2025). This suggests that any significant movements in ETH could continue to influence AI tokens, presenting potential trading opportunities in the AI/crypto crossover space. AI-driven trading volumes for these tokens have not shown significant changes within the last 24 hours, indicating that the whale’s activity has not yet directly impacted AI-specific trading patterns (Source: Kaiko, March 4, 2025).
