According to the crypto tracker Whale Alert, the owner of the BTC may be a cryptocurrency exchange.

The large stack of BTC is currently being broken up into separate wallets containing relatively small amounts of Bitcoin.

“We have disabled further alerts for this for now to reduce spam. The main amount is slowly being reduced by amounts between 10 and 100 BTC. 

This process is usually called peeling and is normal behavior for wallets that many exchanges use.”

Also in the last 24 hours, a now notorious crypto whale who stole 320,000 ETH from the crypto exchange Upbit is shifting the funds around.

Nine separate transactions involving the illicit ETH have been discovered in the last day, with the largest being a movement of 10,000 ETH worth $1.4 million.
