Following this massive sell-off, the price of 1INCH tokens experienced a drop of over 6%. Notably, in June 2023, Alameda 0x4b1 received 14.44 million 1INCH tokens from 1inch. They then deposited these tokens to a centralized exchange (CEX) through Wintermute in two phases in April 2024. The first deposit was made right before the price fell by around 68% in a market crash.
However, Alameda dumped massive cryptocurrencies in April 2024. According to a report by Todayq News, in April 2024, they dumped over $30 million worth of the world’s 2nd biggest cryptocurrency, Ethereum. They sold over $15 million worth of Ethereum on April 9, 2024, whereas the second dump was of $14.4 million worth of ETH, which took place on April 23, 2024, as reported by Todayq News.
