Two dormant Bitcoin wallets awaken after a decade, transferring a total of 1000 Bitcoin and sparking speculation among crypto investors.
Million-dollar move from Bitcoin whale!
Since the transfers, one of the recipient addresses from “16vRq…qjzEa” has transferred 500 Bitcoin to numerous wallets, while the “1DUJuH…NgfC5” wallet still carries 500 Bitcoin. Notable Bitcoin transfers have led blockchain analysis firm Lookonchain to match the two transactions; followers believe the two wallets belong to the same person or organization.
Surprising data from crypto analysis platforms!
According to the analysis of Chainalytics and Fortune, while at least one of the BTC wallets tends to wake up every month, about 1.8 million Bitcoin addresses have been inactive for over a decade. Fortune noted that these wallets, excluding Nakamoto’s wallet, carry about 121 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin. While investors often suggest that inactive wallets could wake up at an opportune time to sell Bitcoin, others suggest that the BTC could be transferred to a different address, perhaps to a cold wallet. According to CoinGecko, Bitcoin is trading at 61,450 dollars at the time of writing.
Conclusion
This recent activity from dormant Bitcoin wallets has sparked speculation and concern among investors. Whether these wallets will continue to be active or return to dormancy remains to be seen. As always, investors are advised to conduct their own research before making any investment decisions.
