A dormant Ethereum wallet from the ICO era just woke up after a decade-plus hibernation. The holder moved their entire position—2,000 $ETH—to a fresh address, and the numbers tell quite a story. This investor had gone all-in during the ICO phase with just $620, securing 2,000 tokens when ETH was practically trading at pennies. Fast forward to now, and that modest $620 bet has ballooned to roughly $5.85 million. We're talking about a 9,435x multiplier over the years. The timing of this wallet activation sparks questions: Is this a strategic repositioning? A security refresh? Or simply an early believer taking profits after watching their ICO gamble transform into generational wealth? Either way, it's a compelling reminder of what patient capital and early conviction looked like in Ethereum's nascent days.

A wallet that has been dormant for ten years has awakened... This is truly a digital relic. 620 coins exchanged for 58.5 million, with not only time in between but also the evolution of the entire belief system.

620 units invested in 2000 ETH, now worth over 5.8 million... This guy hasn't touched his wallet for over ten years, and he just took off as soon as he woke up.
