Bitcoin whales are moving millions of dollars worth of BTC as the volatile crypto markets rally to start the week.
In the last 24 hours – as Bitcoin sank to $5,785 before a burst to $6,389 – some of the richest Bitcoin holders on record moved 24,923 BTC worth $148.9 million.
Included in that total is a series of 15 transfers of 1,000 BTC, worth $5.9 million each. Although Whale Alert traced the origin of the transfers to a wallet created by the crypto exchange Huobi, it has not determined whether the funds are owned by Huobi itself or one of its customers.
In addition, five whales moved a total of 5,401 BTC worth $33.6 million from crypto exchanges from unknown wallets to exchanges, where it could potentially be sold on the open market. Here’s an overview of the largest transfers in the last day.
