The deal caught the attention of many investors and traders as it suggested that whales might be planning to do something in the market. The move was made from address 3Qrx7c1f2SmubFMJvKJnFW37YwacQmxDqq, one of the largest Bitcoin addresses containing over 17,000 BTC. The identity of the owner of the address remains unknown, but it is speculated that it may belong to an institutional investor or a high-net-worth individual.
What’s interesting about this transfer is that the whale has received a total of 15,762 BTC from two major cryptocurrency exchanges, Huobi and Binance, on three different occasions in the past. Transactions occurred on October 5, November 11, and December 1, 2022, with an average receipt price of $19,967. This means that if the whale decides to sell BTC at the current price of $24,862, he can make a profit of $12.24 million.
