According to @lookonchain, a mysterious whale reportedly linked to Erik Voorhees has spent $30.72M USDT to purchase 14,425 ETH. Over the past two weeks, the whale has accumulated 118,240 ETH for $255.72M USDT at an average price of $2,163, following a sell-off of 83,969 ETH at $3,296 each for $276.73M USDT. This trading activity highlights a strategic 'sell high, buy low' approach, potentially influencing Ethereum (ETH) market dynamics.

According to @OnchainLens, four wallets, likely connected to a single entity, have purchased 86,268 ETH for $187.31M USDT since March 10 at an average price of $2,171. These wallets previously sold 53,799 ETH for $192.47M USDT at $3,578 over a year ago. Historical data reveals these wallets received ETH from ShapeShift about ten years ago, and Arkham AI has identified the entity as potentially linked to Erik Voorhees. The report suggests these wallets may control additional undisclosed wallets.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees has been actively accumulating Ethereum (ETH) through two wallet addresses. Over the past week, these addresses have purchased a total of 27,276.54 ETH, valued at over $57.48 million. The average acquisition cost was $2107.66, with a current unrealized profit of $1.867 million. Notably, one address recently purchased 13,986.3 ETH worth $29.42 million in just 24 hours. This significant on-chain activity may reflect bullish sentiment around ETH.

According to @lookonchain, Erik Voorhees deposited another 1,635 ETH, valued at approximately $4.81 million at the time, into THORChain to swap for BCH (source: @lookonchain on X, Dec 25, 2025). @lookonchain provided on-chain transaction links indicating the deposit and planned ETH-to-BCH swap route via THORChain (source: @lookonchain on X, Dec 25, 2025).

According to Lookonchain, the activity was surfaced alongside on-chain references to THORChain and Arkham pages tracking addresses 0x3508... and 0x03b5.... According to Lookonchain, the reported totals imply roughly 5.40 BCH per ETH and about 538 USD per BCH based on the USD value it provided. According to Lookonchain, the wallet is possibly linked to Erik Voorhees, though this attribution remains unconfirmed.
