Title: Dormant Ethereum Genesis Wallet Awakens

  Turkey, 29th Nov 2023, King NewsWire - Ethereum ICO: The Ethereum ICO was a wildly successful initial coin offering that took place in 2014. The ICO raised over $18 million for the initial release and development of Ethereum by its development team consisting of Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Wood, and Joseph Lubin. Participants at the time contributed Bitcoin in exchange for Ethereum at a predetermined exchange rate.

Let’s call this wallet ‘ICO wallet’.The ICO wallet first received 1,670 ETH on July 30th of 2015 on the Genesis Block, likely indicating it to be an ICO participant. Three months later in October of 2015 the ICO wallet sent 1,669.5 ETH to the exchange Kraken. This wallet then laid dormant for the next eight years until November 27th, 2023 when they funded a new wallet (Address 0xe5171cea84e8787e8abc09df401933213a62563e | Etherscan).
