VC Firm Nets $10.9M Profit on SNX Token, Moves to Cash Out on Coinbase

• Framework Ventures deposits 6.5M SNX tokens, valued at $19.6M, into Coinbase Prime.
• The firm capitalizes on a 152% profit after purchasing tokens at a lower price four months ago.
• SNX has surged 136% in the last 30 days, driving Framework Ventures to lock in gains.

Framework Ventures, a prominent thesis-driven crypto venture firm, has made a significant move in the Synthetix (SNX) market. Known as the largest holder and investor in Synthetix, the firm deposited 6.5 million SNX tokens (valued at $19.6 million) into Coinbase Prime. This transaction signals a potential profit-taking decision.

Framework Ventures Locks in 152% Profit

For context, the new deposit to Coinbase follows a key decision made four months ago when Framework Ventures withdrew 6 million SNX tokens from the exchange. At the time, the withdrawn tokens were worth $7.2 million.

This suggests that Framework Ventures likely purchased the tokens during a market dip and is now capitalizing on a 152% profit, as the value of those same 6 million tokens has appreciated by $10.9 million.

Notably, the market value of SNX has surged by 136% in the past 30 days, with the token now trading at $3.04. With the recent rise in SNX prices, Framework Ventures is taking advantage of the accrued gains.

Currently, Framework Ventures still holds 17.9 million SNX tokens, valued at $54 million, all of which are vested. This means they are likely subject to a lock-up period or restrictions on when they can be sold.

Other Savvy Moves by Whales in Recent Times

SNX is not the only cryptocurrency facing selling pressure from prominent investors. In a separate analysis, Spot On Chain revealed that a whale recently deposited 356.2 billion PEPE tokens, worth $7.3 million, to the Kraken exchange, securing an impressive 31x return, or a $7.3 million profit.

This follows the whale’s activity in September 2023, when they withdrew 375.65 billion PEPE tokens from Gemini for just $237,000. By February 2024, the whale began selling the tokens through decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and Kraken, cashing out $7.54 million.
