The ambiguity has been removed about the recent 90,000 ETH units that were sent to the Kraken platform recently.

It appears to have been a founder of Ethereum looking to get some money.

On December 25, more than 204,000 ETHs were moved to numerous trading platforms in mysterious transfers, some of which were linked to "Vitalik Potrin", founder of Ethereum.

Many had speculated that the newly mobile ETH was owned by either "Potrin" or an etherium developer.

Of this amount, 90,000 ETH was sent to the Kraken platform which has now been linked with one of the founders of Ethereum for sure.

Where the identity of this mysterious was only the co-founder of Ethereum, Mr. “Jeff Wilcke”.

About 90,000 Ethereum, the equivalent of $ 11 million owned by Jeff, was sent to the Kraken platform.

The transfer would have been unknown if only Jeff had registered with the "Ethereum Name Service" two years ago.

However, currently the other newly transferred amounts remain unknown.

"Jeff Wilcke" confirmed on Twitter that he was behind the treatment of 90,000 units of Ethereum and explained that he needed the money to fund his "game."

Jeff says he needs 11 million to fund his game, but that is not certain.

Whereas, according to some observers, he left the entire Ethereum project, and has not been active on GitHub since March 2019.

The recent sale of this co-founder of Ethereum is not at all in favor of the price of the Ethereum currency, to be added to the total obstacles facing the price of Ethereum recently.

There were many negative voices saying that the update of "Ethereum 2.0" would be delayed, perhaps for years.

This is estimated the price of etherium coin at the time of writing this topic at 27 dollars with a total market value of 13.9 billion dollars, away from the ripple currency of 5 billion dollars.
