2. The sales are speculated to be for treasury management in the volatile crypto market, allowing the organization to continue its research and development efforts.

3. On-chain data platforms like Arkham provide insights into market sentiment and transaction patterns, helping to understand large-scale sales.

4. Despite generating buzz, the sales' direct impact on Ethereum's price is limited due to the cryptocurrency's high daily trading volume in the billions of dollars.
