The Bybit hacker, allegedly a North Korean unit, is now one of the world’s largest ethermaers who may have bullish implications for cryptocurrency’s spot price.

According to Data from Arkham Intelligence and Coinbase Executive Connor Grogan, this malicious actor has 489,000 ETH, which is appreciated at approx. $ 1.34 billion, which amounts to approx. 0.4% of Ether’s total supply, making it the 14th largest Ethermin Gardener globally. It puts the hacker in front of the Ethereum Foundation, Ethereum’s CEO Vitalik Barterin and Fidelity.

It is important to note that the addresses associated with this device are closely monitored and backlisted with exchanges, which means the hacker is likely to fight to relieve these coins on the market.

On simpler terms, the hacked ether supply is probably permanently. In addition, Bybit, which has reportedly secured a bridge -affected loan from named partners to cover almost 80% of the ether lost in Friday hack, probably need to buy coins on the market.

“As far as this supply is concerned, it is essentially gone,” Vance Spencer, co -founder of Crypto VC Firm Framework Ventures, said at X.

That probably explains why ether has jumped 2.6% to $ 2,730 from that night of about $ 2,614. Financing rates in eternal futures tied to ether remain positive, which involves a bias for long positions, according to Data Source CoingeCko.
