Ethereum Wallet Moves $4.6 Million After 11 Years And Avoids Crypto Scam

An early Ethereum wallet has returned to activity after more than a decade, transferring approximately $4.6 million worth of ETH while successfully avoiding an attempted cryptocurrency scam. The unusual transaction has attracted attention among blockchain analysts because the wallet dates back to Ethereum’s launch in 2015. The wallet, identified by its address beginning with 0x7dDd, received its first Ether during Ethereum’s genesis block in July 2015. It subsequently received another 755 ETH in March 2016 but had not recorded any outgoing transfers until November 9, 2026. The movement follows other cases involving early Ethereum wallets that have unexpectedly become active after years of inactivity.
