- Over the past week, over $16 million in Bitcoin was moved, indicating active participation from wallets dormant for more than 15.5 years.
Insights from the Blockchain
- Whale Alert data reveals that 5 miner wallets transferred 250 BTC (around $15.9 million) within a single hour. These wallets originally received 50 BTC (approximately $3.18 million) as mining rewards back in 2009.
- The motivations behind these transactions remain unclear; they could be profit-taking or simply moving funds to different addresses.
Performance Metrics
- In the past week, Bitcoin has shown a 3.81% gain, and a 10.79% increase over the past month, reflecting bullish market sentiment.
Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, serving as a decentralized form of money that is not controlled by any single entity, thus eliminating the need for third-party involvement in transactions.
