Ethereum early holder pinosaur.eth unstaked 9,618 ETH, valued at $24.58 million, and deposited the tokens to Kraken eight hours ago. The move puts a substantial amount of ETH on an exchange, though it does not establish that a sale has taken place.
Why it matters
Exchange deposits can precede sales, making the transfer a potential source of near-term selling pressure. The key distinction is that an exchange deposit is not confirmation of an executed trade.
