A mysterious Ethereum whale has raked in $1.52 million in unrealized profits with a 30,000 ETH purchase, as reported by Lookonchain earlier today.

The traders reportedly spent $75.39 million to buy these 30k ETH tokens through an over-the-counter (OTC) deal. The purchase was made at an average price of $2,513 per token. However, it is now valued at a total of $76.91 million as the ETH price rose to $2,594.

Ethereum Whale Gains $1.52M via 30K ETH Purchase

According to data revealed by Lookonchain, an Ethereum whale has made a massive purchase of 30,000 ETH, spending $75.39. With a significant hike in the ETH price, the whale gained a staggering profit of $1.52 million.

According to the report by Benzinga, ETH surged to a three-day high of $2,594. But it soon dropped to $2,554.

Significantly, this Ethereum whale has a proven track record of savvy trades, implementing strategic buy-low, sell-high methods. Just four days before, the whale sold 30,000 ETH for $78.63 million, securing a substantial 43.2% gain of $23.73 million in a mere 25 days.

While large OTC transactions indicate strong bullish sentiment, this move has been deemed a positive indicator for the ETH price.

Notably, the Ethereum whale’s acquisition of 30k ETH on May 26, 2025, occurred during a period of heightened market volatility. This implies that the investor was positioning for an anticipated bullish surge.

ETH Price Surges 42% in a Month

At press time, ETH is valued at $2,567, marking a marginal 2.54% in a day. At the same time, the ETH price has gained a massive 42% in a month and 5% in a week.

Despite these significant price movements and Ethereum whale moves, the traders’ sentiment remains neutral, marked by a negligible 2.7% hike in its trading volume, currently at $12.69 billion.

However, traders and analysts remain optimistic about the ETH price’s potential surge. According to market expert Crypto GEMs, the next target for Ethereum is possibly $3,500. At the same time, analysts like Crypto Fella predict that the cryptocurrency will reach a new all-time high of $5000 this year. As per CoinGape’s Ethereum price prediction, the ETH price will hit a staggering high of $11,340 if Bitcoin surges past $378,000.
