A massive Ethereum burn just went down—500 ETH (roughly $1.4 million) vanished in seconds. But that was just the opening act.
The real shock? 711 ETH (around $2 million) got wired straight to Wikileaks. Not a small side transaction either. Another $3 million in ETH scattered across random wallets shortly after.
Do the math: roughly $7 million torched or redistributed in one coordinated move. Someone just drained their entire stack to make a statement loud enough that you'd stop mid-scroll.
Whale behavior or performance art? Either way, the blockchain doesn't forget.

70 million USD in one go? Burning money for WikiLeaks or just really crazy

The old trick of manipulating public opinion, just burning coins to create topics.

Wow, this move—is it really performance art or just madness? 7 million just disappeared like that, feels like there's a story behind it.

NGL, this move is incredible—donating over 700 ETH directly to WikiLeaks? They're really going big.

Over 700E directly thrown at WikiLeaks? Is this guy really just spending money to buy the right to talk or does he genuinely have faith... This on-chain transaction confused me a bit; it doesn't quite feel like a simple whale harvesting the leeks.

According to studies, the on-chain footprints of such large transfer events typically contain three key pieces of information: 1) Identification of transfer intent 2) Tracking of fund flow 3) Market psychology response. It is worth noting that from a technical perspective, the detail that 711 ETH points to WikiLeaks has a cryptopolitical significance far beyond the numerical performance of the transaction itself.
