Dormant pre-mined Ethereum worth $116M resurrects after 8 years
A wallet address containing pre-mined Ethereum worth $116 million moved its entire stash of 61,216 Ether (ETH) to an address in the Kraken crypto exchange after lying dormant for eight years.
In June 2014, the Ethereum ecosystem conducted a sale event, allowing early team members and co-founders to participate and accumulate pre-mined Ether, at a time when the network was unable to generate tokens on its own.
During the pre-mine period, Ether traded at a price range of $300-$400, which would place the wallet’s worth at roughly $20 million at the time. However, eight years later, the tokens in question are worth more than $116 million at the time of writing.
Etherscan data confirms that the pre-mined 61,216 ETH were transferred on July 18, at 7:30 pm ET to a Kraken wallet address. Sending $116 million in Ether required a minuscule transaction fee of $1.5 and 25.475673161 Gwei in gas price, as shown in the below screenshot.
