Undeterred by the market downtrend, Justin Sun, the founder of the Tron (CRYPTO: TRX) blockchain, accumulated Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) worth millions on Monday.
What Happened: According to on-chain tracking platform Spot On Chain, a wallet linked to the entrepreneur withdrew 14,884 Ether from cryptocurrency exchange Binance, worth nearly $36 million at the time of the purchase. Interestingly, Ether has surged 3.8% since the withdrawal.
The latest accumulation brought Sun’s total Ether investments since February to 392,474, bagged at an estimated cost of $1.19 billion and a current market value of $995 million.
Additionally, Sun deposited $49 million worth of Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) to cryptocurrency exchange HTX in the past three days, indicating the likelihood of further Ether accumulation.
Why It Matters: Sun’s latest accumulation of Ethereum comes after the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency recorded its worst drop in eight months on Sunday, briefly plunging to an intraday low of $2,122. That said, it made a spirited comeback by reclaiming $2,500 on Monday.
Sun’s continued investment in Ethereum comes amid market instability and personal controversy. On Monday, Sun dismissed rumors of liquidation following a significant drop in cryptocurrency prices. The speculation was sparked by a post claiming Sun’s positions had been liquidated.
Sun is one of the largest publicly known cryptocurrency investors, boasting of a portfolio worth more than a billion dollars not too long ago. However, his total wealth plunged to $885 million due to the market drop, data from Arkham Intelligence revealed.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ether was exchanging hands at $2,508.73, gaining 8.26% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
