Fact Check
The claim is directly confirmed by the original Lookonchain X post (Aug 1, 2026), which states the whale added 7,919.5 ETH ($14.89M) and reached 74,265 ETH total since June 30, alongside 1,050 WBTC. The odaily newsflash corroborates identical figures, and the earlier Bloomingbit report showing 66,345.5 ETH is internally consistent (66,345.5 + 7,919.5 = 74,265). Combined ETH ($131.5M) and WBTC ($67.49M) totals ~$199M, matching 'nearly $200M.'
