Early Ethereum whale thomasg.eth rebuilds with $19.5M in ETH buys; unverified 0.852 ETH sent to Garrett Jin

On-chain data tracked by Arkham shows an early Ethereum participant known as thomasg.eth accumulated roughly $19.5 million in ETH over the past week, including an approximately $3 million purchase on March 20, according to multiple reports ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Arkham’s balance history cited in reporting indicates thomasg.eth held about $538 million in ETH, WBTC and DAI at the November 2021 market peak and now holds a much smaller portfolio across multiple addresses, per the coverage of Arkham data. The recent buys occurred amid three consecutive days of net outflows from U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs totaling $234.1 million, according to one report ^{[2] [3]}.

Separately, a report states Trend Research transferred 0.852 ETH (about $1,840) to a wallet associated with Garrett Jin; that claim was circulated via a Bitcoin Magazine Telegram channel and has not been independently verified on-chain, per the reporting ^[4].

Reporting attributes the $19.5 million accumulation to thomasg.eth based on Arkham-tracked on-chain data, while the Trend Research-to-Garrett Jin transfer remains an unverified claim at this time ^{[1] [2] [4]}.
