According to Onchain Lens, a long-inactive Bitcoin whale transferred 1,000 BTC to Bitfinex, realizing substantial profit from coins bought years earlier at lower prices.
On February 21, blockchain analytics platform Onchain Lens reported that a whale moved 1,000 BTC, valued at $67.64 million, to Hong Kong-based exchange Bitfinex after five years of inactivity. The Bitcoin was originally purchased for approximately $29.28 million from Bitstamp and FTX, resulting in an estimated profit of $38.35 million if sold at current prices. Such large-scale transfers are closely monitored due to their potential effects on market liquidity and volatility.
