Dormant $UNI Investor Sells For The First Time After Four Years, Sends $9M To Exchange
In a surprising move, an early $UNI investor who has been dormant for four years has finally made a transaction, triggering speculation in the crypto community.
This particular wallet address received 9 million $UNI tokens from the Uniswap project prior to the tokens official launch.
Despite the dramatic price fluctuations of $UNI between 2020 and 2024rising above $40 and dipping below $2the wallet remained inactive, with no transfers or sales for nearly four years.
However, five hours ago, the investor transferred 1.3 million $UNI tokens, worth approximately $9 million, to an exchange, marking their first-ever sale. This move comes as a surprise to many, considering the extended period of dormancy during both bull and bear market conditions.
The Investor Still Holds Notable Amount Of $UNI
Despite this sale, the investor still holds a significant amount of $UNI, with a remaining balance valued at approximately $52.88 million. The decision to offload a portion of their holdings now has raised questions about what might have prompted the long-time holder to finally make a move.

The sale also coincides with a recent 5% decline in Uniswaps token value over the past 24 hours, leading some to speculate whether this whale activity could have contributed to the price dip or whether it reflects broader market conditions.
As the situation unfolds, many in the community are closely watching for any further movements from this wallet. The activity of early investors like this can have a notable impact on market sentiment, especially when they control large amounts of a particular asset. For now, $UNI holders and market watchers alike are left wondering if this sale is a one-time event or the beginning of a broader trend.
