Ethereum ICO wallet that was dormant for 10 years awakens: $620 turns into $5.85 million, a 9,435-fold wealth creation story

2025-12-24 11:00:11

【CryptoWorld】On-chain monitoring data shows that an early Ethereum ICO wallet, after being dormant for over ten years, has recently made a major move. This wallet address (0x3495) just transferred all 2000 ETH to a new address, with a total value of approximately $5.85 million.

Looking at this ledger, it’s clear that this early participant only invested $620 during the ICO. At that time, Ethereum was just emerging, and many people didn’t take it seriously. But this transfer tells us—this investment has yielded an astonishing 9435x return. From a few hundred dollars to millions, over ten years of patience has resulted in such a outcome.

Stories like this always provoke deep reflection in the crypto market. The potential gains of early bets are enormous, but they also test the holder’s mindset. The transfer of this asset may signal the next move of this long-term holder.

Oh my god, this guy played with 620 bucks ten years ago, and now he's skyrocketing to 5.85 million. I'm so envious. Really, the courage from the early days is now all about the money. Who would have thought back then? Every time I see stories like this, I have to reflect—did I miss out or just lack the resolve... Did the transfer mean he's about to dump the market? Or is he preparing to do something new...

Wow, putting in 620 yuan turns into 5.85 million. This is exactly why I keep an eye on on-chain data every day.

Wow, is this real? 620 yuan turning into 5.85 million in ten years. Is this a dream? I wish I could travel back in time too.

Wow, ten years ago 620 yuan is now 5.85 million. What kind of mindset does that take... If I had that kind of discipline, I would have already crashed my car.

ngl this is just survivorship bias dressed up as inspiration... where's the research on the 99% who got rekt? empirically speaking, these cherry-picked narratives completely obfuscate actual market mechanics. the data suggests most early participants either panic-sold or lost their keys entirely—this one whale doesn't validate the whole thesis 🤓

Whoa, ten years of inactivity and it’s already multiplied by 9435 times? Is this guy planning to dump the market, or is he really about to make a move?

Oh my, not moving for ten years, and now it's moving—this must be a major event. Either a dump or preparing to do something...

Operate, ten years of sleep earning 9435 times, is this real or just a story?
