ENA, the recently launched governance token of decentralized protocol Ethena Labs, continues to gain the attention of crypto market participants, including the most influential investors in the crypto scene.
Recently, crypto surveillance platform Spot On Chain spotted a whale with wallet initials “0xbba” withdrawing 11.17 million ENA tokens from Binance. Per the disclosure, the transaction occurred in several bits within the last 48 hours. At the time of Spot On Chain’s update, the whale had withdrawn 11.17 million ENA tokens valued at $15.95 million.

However, updated records show the anonymous whale has conducted more transactions. Specifically, the investor has moved out 5,576,000 ENA tokens in two transactions valued at over $8.197 million from Binance.
Effectively, the anonymous whale has withdrawn over 16.74 million ENA tokens worth $24.44 million at press time from the exchange. Meanwhile, the surveillance platform disclosed that the whale simultaneously engaged in staking activities following the withdrawal.

Per the revelation, the wallet has already staked 5.59 million ENA in Ethena Labs. This move has elevated the whale to the fourth largest staker within the ENA ecosystem.
However, with the ongoing withdrawal and the possibility of staking the remaining tokens, Spot On Chain suggested that the anonymous wallet could ascend to the position of the largest staker within the ENA contract.
Meanwhile, the whale “0xbba” is not the only influential investor that has withdrawn ENA tokens from Binance and staked them. In an earlier update, Spot On Chain spotted another wallet that transferred over $8.5 million in ENA and staked it all.
Market tracker Lookonchain has similarly uncovered a wallet that exchanged $3.14 in Ethereum tokens for ENA. These heightened transactions around ENA have bolstered the token’s resilience amid the broader dip in the market.
Spot On Chain remarked that despite the broader market downturn, ENA recorded a remarkable 10% in one day. The platform added that the surge coincides with ENA tokens worth over $165 million staked within the past few days.
