Fact Check
The mempool.space blockchain explorer independently confirms the exact transaction hash cited by Whale Alert: 2,055.2 BTC moved from an unknown wallet to two Kraken-labeled output addresses (1,030.92 BTC + 1,024.28 BTC), a confirmed on-chain transaction. Whale Alert's cited BTC price of $65,403.34 yields the ~$134.43M valuation, consistent with the claim's headline figure. The 'unknown wallet to Kraken' characterization and whale-sized inflow framing are both supported. The only minor uncertainty is the exact USD valuation, which is price-reference dependent, but it aligns with Whale Alert's stated figure.
