Erik Voorhees buys 23,393 ETH at $49.08 million
Erik Voorhees (founder of ShapeShift and early Bitcoin advocate from 2011) purchased 23,393 tokens for $49.08 millions at an average price $2,098 each using two wallets on 15 March 2026.
The purchase was made through Cow Protocol multiple times. This is his largest Ethereum accumulation after selling approximately 12,886ETH at higher levels one year earlier. He still has 35.25million dollars in USDT to use for future purchases.
Sources claim that Erik Voorhees is diversifying his portfolio. Since late January 2026 he has created 28 wallets, invested $23.76 in tokenized assets and acquired 2,834 PAXG and 2,019 XAUT at an average price $4,896. He has unrealized profits in the amount of $513 thousand at mid-March.
This whale activity, despite the fact that he has been a strong advocate of Bitcoin and sold ETH at higher prices in the past, confirms his deep convictions about Ethereum. The crypto community views it as a bullish indicator due to the broader whale interest and market volatility.
