Justin Sun to Acquire 53K ETH Amid Ethereum’s 2% Surge, What’s Next?

Tron founder Justin Sun has made waves in the market by announcing he will be buying 52,905 ETH worth around $209 million from Lido.

This comes after he sold 29,920 ETH worth $119.7 million when Ethereum hit $4,000. The conflicting moves – sell and buy – have sparked curiosity about what it means for Ethereum’s price.

According to Spot On Chain on-chain analytics, Sun’s accumulation history shows he owns 392,474 ETH, bought for around $1.19 billion between Feb and Aug. His current holdings are worth around $349 million, 29% ROI.

Sun’s timing is interesting, will it fuel the up or the volatility?

Ethereum Gains 2%: Market Confidence Strengthens

Despite Justin Sun’s moves, Ethereum is still bullish. It’s up 2% in the last 24 hours, trading at $3,961, with a high of $4,020. Volumes are up 11% to $30.5 billion.

Key metrics look good:

  • ETH Futures Open Interest up 5% according to CoinGlass, more speculation.

  • Ethereum up 27% for the month, market is still positive despite short term volatility.

And more good news, crypto analyst Ali Martinez says ETH whales are buying more Ether after it broke $3,300.

Will Sun’s ETH Activity Influence Ethereum’s Price?

Market is split on what Sun’s latest ETH buying means. His previous sell off was when Ethereum hit $4,000, so some are worried about profit taking. But some are still bullish, looking at the next big target: $15,000.

For now, Ethereum’s technical and market indicators point to resilience, but traders should remain vigilant for Sun’s next move, as significant transfers may impact short-term price dynamics.

Key Takeaways:

  • Justin Sun plans to acquire 53K ETH worth $209 million.

  • Ethereum trades at $3,961, with daily highs at $4,020.

  • ETH Futures Open Interest surged 5%, signaling investor confidence.
