5th Richest BTC Whale (37X) moves $6B for the first time
Discover the details of the fifth-largest Bitcoin wallet's massive $6 billion transfer. As Bitcoin gears up for its halving event, the crypto community watches closely.
A notable event has occurred in the Bitcoin world as the fifth-largest Bitcoin wallet, known as "37X," has made a substantial move, transferring over $6 billion worth of the digital currency.
This is the first major transfer from this whale address since its creation in 2019.
On March 23, the owner of the wallet moved a massive 94,500 Bitcoins, valued at $6.05 billion, to three new addresses.
According to information shared by Arkham Intelligence on March 25, the majority of the funds, $5.03 billion, were sent to one address, while the rest was split between two others. Notably, one of these addresses has further moved the received funds elsewhere.
This transfer comes at a time of heightened interest in Bitcoin, particularly due to the upcoming halving event, which will reduce block rewards by half in just 25 days. Despite Bitcoin's recent price highs, experts believe that the full impact of the halving has yet to be fully understood by the market.
Interestingly, the $6 billion transfer occurred just before Bitcoin surpassed $70,000 on March 25, signaling a resurgence in its value. Investors have also been accumulating Bitcoin off exchanges, with Coinbase seeing a significant decrease in its Bitcoin reserves.
Bitcoin's current price sits at $71,222, with a 6.4% increase in the 24-hour period according to CoinMarketCap. This rise is attributed to anticipation surrounding the halving and increased institutional investment, including the introduction of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.
With Bitcoin ETFs now holding a significant portion of the total Bitcoin supply, there is a growing interest from institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market. As the Bitcoin story unfolds, observers eagerly await what comes next.
