Top US crypto exchange Coinbase transferred more than $627 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) to two unknown wallets on Monday morning.

Blockchain tracker Whale Alert reports that the two transfers, one worth $316.3 million, and the other worth nearly $311.2 million, happened simultaneously, suggesting a single whale could be behind them, though the on-chain data is not definitive given two separate addresses were involved.
