January 12, 2025

In a shock development in the crypto market, $903 million in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) was moved in several transactions within the last 24 hours, sparking widespread speculation about the intent behind these substantial transfers.

What Happened: The blockchain data tracker Whale Alert tracked 10 distinct high-value Bitcoin transactions. These transactions included the movement of Bitcoin between unidentified wallets and major exchanges such as Kraken, Binance, and Robinhood.

As per the data, among these transactions, 620 BTC valued at $58,495,235, 888 BTC valued at $83,875,225, and 1,027 BTC valued at $96,745,111 were transferred from Kraken to unknown wallets. Furthermore, 1,164 BTC valued at $109,706,616 were moved between unknown wallets.

Additionally, 1,881 BTC valued at $176,504,307 and 1,003 BTC valued at $94,116,863 were moved from unknown wallets to the Kraken crypto exchange.

Why It Matters: The reasons behind these large-scale movements are still uncertain. However, deposits to exchanges could imply an intention to sell, while withdrawals could suggest buying. Over-the-counter trades outside of crypto exchanges could be another potential explanation.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $94,568, up by almost 1% in the last 24 hours, and below its all-time high of $108,268 which reached on Dec. 17, 2024.
