1inch Investment Fund Just Bought $10 Million of Ethereum (ETH), Why are Big Boys Stacking?

Press Releases Crypto News Bitcoinist 1inch Investment Fund Just Bought $10 Million of Ethereum (ETH), Why are Big Boys Stacking?

On August 28, a crypto wallet associated with 1inch Investment Fund, “0x225d3822de44e58ee935440e0c0b829c4232086e”, bought 6,088 Ether (ETH) at $1,655 spending $10 million on the trade, data from Lookonchain, a blockchain analysis platform, shows.

The fund is linked with 1inch Network, the decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregating protocol that is also one of the largest platforms by total value locked (TVL).

Big Players Buying ETH But Prices Under Pressure

1inch Investment fund has not laid down the reason behind their decision to buy Ethereum when prices generally appear depressed following losses roughly ten days ago. On August 17, ETH, like Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, dropped.

ETH lost roughly 15%, pulling back from around $1,800, and is yet to retest those levels at spot rates.

ETH candlestick arrangement on August 28 shows that the coin remains in a tight consolidation, moving horizontally and confined inside the August 17 bear candlestick. Prices are relatively stable, with lighter trading volumes, but in a bearish formation.

Ethereum is also changing hands at around $1,650 when writing, marginally lower than the spot price at which the fund scooped the coin earlier today.

1inch Investment fund move, while overly optimistic for ETH, is yet to spark demand and lift the coin from the current consolidation. The coin is lower, and the path of least resistance remains southwards.

Overall, the conspicuous bear bar could shape the medium-term formation unless there is a shift in demand, lifting Ethereum above $1,900.
