What happened: $370,740,096 worth of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) was just moved between 2 anonymous cryptocurrency wallets in a single transaction. This mysterious person's bitcoin wallet address has been identified as: bc1qjuv09uhkfzejfd64heew9g7kr6a9gsedcdn2md22vqdksdu0ar3s4l204h
$370 million worth of Bitcoin was sent to an unknown recipient, with Bitcoin wallet address: bc1qu8urg8cw9yh5phw8qfcpkhulxne6pcrhhl5hd0vjurewr0qaswgqvu79aa
Why it matters: Cryptocurrency whales that own millions of dollars in Bitcoin tend to move markets single-handedly. If the whale decides to exit this Bitcoin position, there could be enough market impact to push down the price of BTC. It takes about $15 to $30 million of sell pressure to move the price of Bitcoin down 2% on any given exchange.
Since this transaction wasn't sent to an exchange, it's unlikely that this Bitcoin whale is looking for liquidity. Instead, they may be transferring this to a different wallet for security purposes.
