A dormant $ETH whale resurfaces with a massive $7.4M stake
, an Ethereum"whale" has come back to life after being dormant for over two years. The large investor, identified as an early participant in Ethereum's initial coin offering , staked 4,032 ETH, equivalent to approximately $7.4 million, according to data from Lookonchain.
This sizeable stake, made just hours ago, marks the whale's first activity in 2.4 years, stirring considerable excitement and speculation within the crypto community.was shared on Lookonchain's Twitter page, was a part of Ethereum's genesis – the network's inception phase when the Ethereum ICO took place.
During the ICO, this investor received a staggering 60,000 ETH. Ethereum's genesis event was a public crowdsale that occurred in July and August 2014, where investors purchased ETH in exchange for Bitcoin.The whale's Ethereum balance at the time of the tweet was 6.751 ETH, valued at approximately $12,288.33, based on Ethereum's current value.
Whether this activity is indicative of a larger trend among Ethereum ICO participants, or an isolated event, only time will tell.

Parasitic Copepods as Biochemical Tracers of Foraging Patterns and Dietary Shifts in Whale Sharks (Rhincodon typus Smith, 1828)Understanding the diet of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) is essential for the development of appropriate conservation strategies for the species. This study evaluated the use of the parasitic copepod (Pandarus rhincodonicus) as a proxy to infer short-term foraging habitats and trophic positions of whale shark hosts. To accomplish this, bulk stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope compositions were analysed from 72 paired samples of whale shark skin (dermal) tissues and copepods collected across six years at the Ningaloo Reef aggregation site, Western Australia. This study found that δ15N from parasites and whale shark hosts were strongly correlated. As turn-over times of the parasite and whale shark differ (months vs. years, respectively), the ability of copepods to predict δ15N values indicates that the trophic positions of whale sharks remain consistent across these timeframes. Contrastingly, δ13C in the parasite and host were weakly correlated, likely reflecting differences in the physiology and lifecycle of the copepod parasite compared to the host. Our results suggest δ15N from parasitic copepods provides a reliable proxy of the trophic position of their whale shark hosts, but interpretation of δ13C values as a proxy for the host will require future studies on the lifecycle of P. rhincodonicus.
