Dormant Bitcoin Whale Transfers $77.9 Million to Paxos
Recent whale activity includes a reactivated wallet executing a massive leveraged BTC long, alongside large transfers from Binance, potentially impacting market liquidity.
A previously dormant Bitcoin whale opened a 20x leveraged BTC long worth $31.04 million, with a liquidation threshold near $78,900, yielding $127,400 in unrealized profit. This follows significant November movements: 850 BTC worth $77.9 million transferred to Paxos after 2,300 BTC valued at $211 million moved from Craig Wright-linked addresses, and another whale withdrawing 307 BTC worth $25.31 million from Binance. Over the past month, the latter has removed 4,576 BTC worth $377.3 million, highlighting ongoing repositioning by major holders that could affect liquidity and sentiment.
