AMBCrypto and CoinTurk News EN both cover the same whale wallet's ETH purchase but differ sharply on how much of the holding was actually staked.
What all sources agree on
- The whale wallet purchased 5,000 ETH worth approximately $9.53 million in a recent transaction.
- Ethereum traded near $1,898-$1,899 at the time of reporting.
Where the reports disagree
1How much ETH the whale staked via the Beacon Deposit Contract
The wallet also staked 2.02K ETH, worth approximately $3.84 million, through Ethereum’s Beacon Deposit Contract.
The same wallet has now accumulated a total of 10,657 ETH, worth about $20.07 million, and locked the entire holding into Ethereum’s staking mechanism.
What would settle it: The on-chain transaction history of wallet 0x8447, including any Beacon Deposit Contract deposit records.
2Total size of the whale's ETH holdings after the withdrawal/purchase
An Ethereum [ETH] whale moved 10.3K ETH, valued at approximately $19.5 million, off Kraken in a span of just 24 hours.
The same wallet has now accumulated a total of 10,657 ETH, worth about $20.07 million, and locked the entire holding into Ethereum’s staking mechanism.
What would settle it: The wallet's full on-chain transaction and balance history.
What to make of it
Treat the 5,000 ETH purchase and the roughly $1,900 ETH price as established, but the claim that supply is 'tightening' rests on how much of the holding was staked versus left liquid — a figure the two outlets report differently and which is not yet settled.
