In a surprising turn of events, an anonymous crypto investor has been systematically destroying his crypto assets, totaling over $8 million. The investor, known only by his ENS name nd4.eth, has not provided any explanation for his actions.

High-value NFTs among the burned assets

Among the assets sent to the burn address were several high-value NFTs, including two pieces from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection, three from the Mutant Ape Yacht Club collection, and one from the Crypto Punk collection. The total value of these NFTs exceeds $200,000.

Unexplained actions continue

Despite the significant value of the assets being destroyed, the investor has not provided any explanation for his actions. This has led to widespread speculation and intrigue within the crypto community, with many questioning the investor’s motives.

How burning works in Ethereum

In Ethereum, tokens that are intended to be removed from circulation are sent to addresses that start with “0xdead…”. These addresses are inaccessible, meaning that once a token is sent there, it cannot be retrieved. To date, over $4 billion worth of assets have been sent to these addresses, and the number continues to grow.

Conclusion

The actions of nd4.eth have certainly caught the attention of the crypto community. While the reasons behind his actions remain a mystery, his activities serve as a stark reminder of the volatility and unpredictability of the crypto market.

After a day of silence, nd4.eth burned another $3.59M worth of tokens today – most of which he has held for months.

Since January this year, nd4.eth bought $1.8M of GNS and >$1M of GMX from Uniswap.
