The recent action comes just a month after 1inch cashed out of a dollar-cost averaging acquisition. Overall, the company is known for its strategic moves. Earlier this year, 1inch made several purchases totalling 17,000 ETH (or roughly $26.8 million). These transactions came at an average price of $1,569.
Meanwhile, on 5 July, when Ethereum was seeing growth, the company sold some of its assets, raising a total of $21 million. Currently, the wallet's total value is $80 million.
1inch is an influential player in the DeFi industry. And the company's recent moves have sparked a ton of speculation in the crypto community on the future of the market. Some assume that the Ethereum purchase is part of 1inch's big advanced strategy. The company recently offered its platform users access to new features related to lower transaction fees.
Meanwhile, whilst there is increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market, users will be closely eyeing the actions of major players such as 1inch.
