The blockchain analysis firms said, the wallet has sold 40.778 WBTC to buy 1,847 Ethers and after this selling and buying the wallet has sent Ethereum in three different wallets.
Spotonchain said in an X post dated April 03, 2025, “ They spent 999.9K USDT to acquire the WBTC at $24,521 in Feb 2023 and sold it for 1,857 ETH at $86,170 just 12 hours ago.”
It is said that in this continuous process of selling and then buying the wallet held by Lazarus Group of North Korea has made around $2.5 million in profit as it was holding WBTC for the last 2 years.

The crypto market lost more than $1.50 billion in Q1, 2025
The prices of crypto have enjoyed new highs from the last quarter of 2024 till January 2025, but all the gains have been wiped out as the market has lost more than $1.50 billion, of which $1.4 billion is solely lost by Bybit.
