The addresses involved have no known connection to a company that invests or works with cryptocurrencies. In addition, Bitcoin has not been moved to any known exchange-owned address where it could be traded and sold on the open market. Whale watching occurs days after the onchain analyst firm Glassnode said the recent bitcoin price correction has been shaking new owners, while older hodlers “remain strong”. They recorded a massive dump of new wallets immediately after Bitcoin fell from its record of almost $ 65,000. “It is noticed that currencies over a month old represent a very small and decreasing proportion of the total flow of transactions. On the other hand, the number of new coins (<1 week) spent has increased at the end of the week, suggesting that new market participants have been shaken during this correction. ”Analysis firm Santiment also reported on Wednesday that huge whales (addresses with more than 10,000 bitcoins) acquired an additional 90,000 bitcoins since April 5.
