Four of the richest Bitcoin wallets in existence just moved a collective $634 million in BTC in the span of two minutes, triggering confusion among a number of crypto traders.
The crypto analytics tracker BTC Block Bot initially detected the massive Bitcoin movements.
According to Whale Alert, two of the addresses involved in the transfers are connected to the crypto exchange giants Coinbase and Binance, leaving traders to wonder why the exact same amount of BTC left the exchanges at the exact same time.

According to new data from on-chain market intelligence firm Glassnode, the number of high net-worth individuals entering the crypto space is on an uptrend.
“The number of Bitcoin whales (entities holding ≥ 1K BTC) has been on an upwards trend for the past months.
An indication that more high-net-worth individuals are entering the space to invest in Bitcoin in expectation of BTC price appreciation.”
The firm says despite a couple of hiccups, crypto investors appear to be acquiring BTC at a faster rate.
Network Health and Liquidity are seeing positive growth, and sentiment among traders is on the rise.
“Meanwhile, long-term hodlers can remain confident in the strength of bitcoin’s underlying fundamentals, while simultaneously looking out for good buying opportunities in the coming days and weeks.”
