10-Year ETH Hold: $48 Became $700K! 🚀💸

Oh, look what the cat dragged in! A $48 Ethereum holding has turned into a *fortune* after a decade of… let’s call it “strategic napping.” 🛌💸 Blockchain detective Whale Alert just uncovered a dormant premine address that’s been chilling since 2015. Who needs a job when you can just HODL? 🤷♀️

The original investor dropped $48 on Ethereum’s ICO and got 158 ETH. Now that’s worth a cool $693,197-1,444,060% gain! 🎉💸 For context, that’s like buying a loaf of bread for a dollar and selling it for a million. 🥖🔥

Meanwhile, the owner decided to “test” their luck by sending 0.001 ETH to a new wallet. Because nothing says “I’ve been asleep for a decade” like a tiny transfer. 🧠➡️👛

Ethereum’s ICO price? A measly $0.31. Back then, you could get 2,000 ETH for BTC. Now it’s hitting $4,955. 📈💥 (Spoiler: The 2015 version of you is now crying in a corner.)

Ethereum sees increased demand

At $4,346, ETH is the crypto world’s version of a “hot take.” 🚀 Wall Street’s new favorite pet? Apparently, yes. Jan van Eck called it “Wall Street token,” because nothing says “financial innovation” like blockchain rails and stablecoins. 🏦🌀

CryptoQuant’s Maartunn says U.S. Bitcoin ETFs lost $920M, while Ethereum ETFs gained $4.08B. So, the market’s basically saying, “BTC, you’re overrated.” 🎯💸
