Whale “0x687” Unloads $ENA Tokens with Potential $2.38M Profit

In the latest move among DeFi token whales, wallet “0x687” has unstaked and transferred 4.96 million $ENA tokens, valued at $6.01 million, to Binance just 40 minutes ago.

The transfer was made at an approximate price of $1.23 per token, sparking speculation about a potential sell-off. .

Profitable Staking Strategy 

This whale’s $ENA activity dates back to earlier in 2024, when they withdrew 5.97 million $ENA tokens from Binance between May 10 and December 2. At the time, the average token price was around $0.75, resulting in a total acquisition cost of $4.46 million. These tokens were then staked, possibly to earn additional rewards while waiting for market conditions to improve.

With the current price of $ENA at $1.23, the whale stands to realize a profit of $2.38 million, representing a 64.2% gain, if they choose to sell now. This move demonstrates a calculated strategy of accumulating at lower prices and waiting for the right market opportunity to exit.

Token Unlocks Could Impact Market Dynamics 

This activity comes at a time when several crypto projects are scheduled to unlock their tokens this week, including $KAS, $EIGEN, $ENA, $MOVE, $OP, $APT, $IO, and $AXS. These events could lead to increased market volatility as newly unlocked tokens flood the market.
