A crypto whale is flexing its muscle after sending $445 million in Bitcoin between two wallets in a single transaction.
The lone whale moved the 51,511 BTC on Monday. The transaction fee cost 0.00002860 BTC – which amounts to just 23 cents. According to the crypto tracker Blockstream, the fee would have been 16% lower if the sender had used the Bitcoin scaling solution known as SegWit-Bech32.
This is the second mega Bitcoin transaction in a month. A separate whale recently moved 123,447 BTC worth a mind-blowing $1.1 billion.
Whale activity has picked up in the last week as BTC grows increasingly volatile. Here’s a look at the largest Bitcoin transactions in the last 24 hours.
