According to blockchain data, Grayscale, which will be among the first ETF issuers, sent 292,262 Ether (ETH) worth over $1 billion to the Coinbase Prime deposit wallet on July 22, according to blockchain data.


Following the transfer, approximately 10% of the 292,000 ETH was transferred from the Coinbase hot wallet to the Grayscale Mini Trust, or wallet "0xab3," according to a July 23 X post by data provider iChaininfo.


The billion-dollar transfer came a day before the launch of the first batch of US spot Ether ETFs, which will begin trading on July 23. The large transfers suggest that Grayscale is pre-seeding funds to prepare for the ETF launch.
