Genesis-era Ethereum wallet moves millions after a decade, scam attempts follow within minutes

Share

An Ethereum wallet that had remained inactive for more than a decade made its first transaction on November 9, 2026. Following a small test transfer, it moved approximately 2,155 ETH, valued at between $4.57 million and $4.59 million, to a new address 38 minutes later. The wallet was funded in Ethereum’s first block in July 2015, receiving 1,400 ETH from the ICO, before receiving another 755 ETH withdrawn from Bitfinex in March 2016. Scam-related activity appeared on the blockchain within minutes of the first transfer, although the main balance reached its intended destination. No deposit to an exchange has been confirmed so far, and the wallet’s next transfer may reveal the owner’s intentions.
