Golem, an early and prominent Ethereum-based project, has moved over $100 million worth of ether (ETH) to various exchanges in the past month, potentially increasing market selling pressure. This project was one of the first initial coin offerings (ICOs) on Ethereum, raising $8.6 million worth of ether in just 29 minutes during the 2016 ICO boom.
According to data from Arkham, Golem’s main wallet has been transferring significant amounts of ETH to other wallets, which subsequently sent these funds to exchanges such as Binance, Bitfinex, and Coinbase. The majority of these transactions were under $10 million each and occurred daily. This activity suggests a potential intent to sell, as large holdings are typically not stored on exchanges for security reasons.
The influx of such a substantial amount of ether to exchanges may increase selling pressure, which could potentially impact ETH’s market price. ICO projects like Golem were once a popular method to raise funds, with billions of dollars amassed between 2016 and 2019. However, interest has waned due to regulatory issues and a general decline in demand.
Despite ongoing development, particularly in AI tools, Golem’s token value has significantly declined from its all-time high. The project’s current token, GLM, trades at approximately 30 cents, with a market capitalization of $300 million, down from a peak of $1.32 in January 2018.
Golem initially positioned itself as a decentralized marketplace for computing power, allowing users to rent out their unused computational resources in exchange for GLM tokens. However, the project’s popularity has diminished over time.
Independent journalist Colin Wu reported on the recent movements of Golem’s wallets. The project has not publicly responded to these observations or announced any major upcoming releases. Golem’s focus remains on AI-based tools, an area gaining interest among traders, as highlighted in their roadmap update from May.
The movement of such a large amount of ether is noteworthy, given Golem’s historical significance in the ICO space and its current endeavors in the evolving landscape of decentralized computing and AI.
