Wintermute, an algorithmic trading firm, has made a bold move by purchasing 19.11 million Neiro Ethereum (NEIROETH) tokens, despite the altcoin experiencing a massive 97% crash in value within the past 24 hours. This purchase brings Wintermute’s NEIROETH holdings to 55.36 million tokens, valued at approximately $195,420. The surprising decision was reported by blockchain analytics platform Spot On Chain.
Currently, NEIROETH is trading at a mere $0.003521, reflecting the significant drop in price. However, trading volume for the altcoin has surged by 333.98%, according to CoinMarketCap. NEIROETH’s market capitalization now stands at just $3.4 million, placing it at the 374th position among cryptocurrencies.
This sudden price crash for NEIROETH was triggered by Binance’s announcement to list First Neiro on Ethereum (NEIRO). Following the listing, NEIRO’s price witnessed an impressive 859.60% surge, while NEIROETH experienced a significant decline.
While some smart traders made substantial profits from the rise of NEIRO, NEIROETH holders faced losses. Wintermute, however, saw an opportunity in this dip and decided to increase its holdings, indicating a belief in a potential price surge in the near future.
In contrast to NEIROETH’s poor performance, its rival NEIRO has enjoyed a remarkable 733.61% increase in value over the past week, followed by a 249.01% increase in the past month. Since August, NEIRO has soared by an astonishing 8071.85%, reaching an all-time high of $0.0004284 just over 13 hours ago. Currently, NEIRO is trading at $0.0003489, experiencing a 13% decrease from its ATH.
