An Ethereum ETH/USD wallet, purportedly associated with former President Donald Trump, was reported to have shifted millions in cryptocurrency, which is suspected to be proceeds from sales of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). This was spotlighted in findings published by Arkham Intelligence on December 27.
What Happened: Over the past three weeks, this specific Ethereum wallet initiated the transfer of its holdings, amounting to 1,075 ETH an equivalent of approximately $2.4 million to the cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase.
Looks like Donald Trump is selling his ETH.
3 weeks ago he started sending ETH to Coinbase after months of accumulating Trump NFT royalties. His peak balance was $4 million.

The wallet was peaking at $4 million previously, Arkham Intelligence said.
Current data from Arkham reveals the wallet encompasses Ethereum assets valued at $1.39 million, along with $644,000 held in MATIC, among other tokens, culminating in a total sum of $2.22 million.
It should be noted that the movement of funds to Coinbase does not indicate sales or conversions to other asset types.
Trump-themed NFTs have been brought to market by NFT International LLC. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trumps name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms, the website reads.
At the time of publishing, Donald Trumps office had not replied to Benzingas request for a statement.
