Crypto Whale Withdraws 4,900 ETH Worth About $9.7 Million from OKX

Fact Check
The most relevant information comes from a PanewsLab report summarized in an article discussing crypto sign-up bonuses. This report states that a whale acquired 4,900 ETH valued at about $9.7 million, with mention of major exchanges including Binance and OKX. Although the description points to OKX in connection with the whale transaction, it mainly highlights a purchase rather than a verified withdrawal. Other sources either focus on market prices, wallet reviews, or general exchange lists and provide no corroborating evidence of the specific OKX withdrawal event. Given that the primary report is credible and relevant but does not explicitly confirm the withdrawal from OKX, the statement is probably based on real transaction data but is slightly mischaracterized. Thus, the claim is considered likely true with moderate confidence, as some activity involving approximately 4,900 ETH tied to OKX appears to have occurred, yet not all aspects of the statement are independently verified.

The wallet currently holds an unrealized profit of around $457,000. The same address had previously deposited 14,428 ETH worth $29.4 million at $2,037.43 per ETH, likely in preparation for a sale.
