The ETH tokens in question originated from trading platforms Genesis and Poloniex and were found transferring 13,103.99 ETH and 9,878 ETH, respectively.

At a time of bear market-induced uncertainty, crypto investors often tend to stick with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) to evade impermanent losses. As a result, the significant movement of such assets intrigues the community as they try and decipher the intent behind the move.

Two addresses that have remained dormant for over four years recently came back to life to transfer 22,982 ETH to new addresses — leaving investors scratching their heads. The ETH tokens in question originated from trading platforms Genesis and Poloniex and were found transferring 13,103.99 ETH and 9,878 ETH, respectively.

Blockchain investigator Peckshield found that the last movement of the ETH tokens in question dates back to October 2018, when the price of Ether ranged roughly between $190 to $230. On the day of the transfer, the asset was priced at nearly $1,200 per ETH.
