Ethereum ICO participant awakes after 7.7 years of dormancy

A long-dormant Ethereum address that participated in the blockchain’s initial coin offering, or ICO, awoke after 7.7 years. It transferred one ether to a new address — which some speculate indicates a test transaction.

The wallet in question received 2,365 ether — worth approximately $4.42 million today — at Ethereum’s genesis, on-chain analysis account Lookonchain noted.

One ether cost roughly $0.31 during Ethereum’s ICO.
