Global’s Biggest Exchange is Astonished by the Mysterious $1.88 Billion Bitcoin Transfer
U.Today – When 30,000 BTC, a staggering amount equal to $1.88 billion at current rates, was moved to Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, an unexpected twist appeared on the chain, according to data from Whale Alert.
Consequently, the first transfer of 75177.38 BTC, or $4.73 billion, was sent from address “3E97A” to two other addresses: “3PXBET” and “1Pzaq,” the latter of which is the address of Binance’s cold wallet and received 30,000 BTC from the original amount.
The transaction history then reveals that 233 BTC were transferred to another cold wallet belonging to the massive black-and-yellow cryptocurrency. This address still has the 45,177 BTC that “3PXBET” received, unaltered.
When a huge company sends enormous amounts of Bitcoin to an exchange with the aim of selling it, it frequently causes panic and distrust among market players.
This combination of addresses and transactionsâwhat is it?
Arkham Intelligence data offers a more comprehensive view. The address that contributed the first amount and the one that received 30,000 BTC both belong to Binance, based on its on-chain metadata. Additionally, the sender address is a cold wallet.
In essence, it is merely an internal technological transfer of the exchange between its wallets. Is there cause for concern? Most likely not.
As for the impact this transfer had on the price of Bitcoin, well, market players may have expected it given the size of the Binance investment. A large red candle brought the price of Bitcoin down 0.44% in just one minute.
