Lazarus Sells $2.28M in ETH Amid Cryptocurrency Market Monitoring
The North Korean hacker group Lazarus has made significant sales of Ethereum (ETH) in recent hours. According to on-chain data, the group sold a total of 911 ETH at an average price of $2,499, resulting in approximately $2.28 million in transactions. These sales were conducted through a cryptocurrency address associated with the Lazarus group.
Lazarus is known for its involvement in major cyberattacks and has a history of targeting the cryptocurrency sector. The group's activities are closely monitored by investors, who track large-scale cryptocurrency transfers for potential selling pressure.
The sale of 911 ETH is expected to have limited impact on the market compared to transaction volume. However, the movement of Ethereum prices during and after the sale will be crucial in assessing its impact.
