With Ethereum (ETH) experiencing a significant price surge this week, reaching over $3,780 and nearing its all-time high, Wilcke’s actions have raised eyebrows in the community.

Alongside Wilcke’s transactions, other significant figures in the Ethereum community have taken noteworthy actions. For instance, Vitalik Buterin, a cofounder of Ethereum, recently transferred 80 Ether, equivalent to roughly $300,000, to the Railgun coin tumbler.

Over the previous six months, Buterin has carried out a series of transactions, each representing a portion of his monthly contributions to the mixer. This sequence of events has sparked speculation regarding the motives and tactics of influential figures within the Ethereum community.
