An unknown cryptocurrency whale has amassed over 64,000 Ethereum (ETH) in just 11 days, according to on-chain data.

Blockchain-tracking service Lookonchain notes that since February 8th, an anonymous whale has acquired 64,346 ETH worth $178.9 million from both centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges.

Blockchain explorer Etherscan shows that the whale initially accumulated 1,100 ETH on February 8th prior to adding 9,959 ETH worth $24.67 million from crypto exchange Binance a few days later.

The deep-pocketed investor subsequently spent $60 million worth of the dollar-pegged stablecoin USDT to acquire 21,353 ETH at $2,810. After the large purchase, Lookonchain says the whale withdrew 10,649 ETH worth $30.68 million from Binance.

Yesterday, the crypto whale added to his already large Ethereum stack by withdrawing 11,587 ETH worth $33.5 million from Binance.
