Crypto whale empties BTC wallet, Whale Alert says
Famous crypto tracker, Whale Alert tracked the transaction that involved sending of 14,922 Bitcoin, which is worth $146.93 million. The most astounding fact of the transaction is that the transaction fees do not reflect the amount transferred as the whale was only charged a meager $0.30.
According to the crypto statistics website, BitInfoCharts, the previous wallet used just one month to gather the BTC that was transferred. By April 5, the wallet had over 12,380 BTC, which was worth $85.08 million and was subsequently named the 58th richest wallet across the globe.
Furthermore, a survey carried out later showed that the wallet had accumulated 15,470 BTC, which was worth $138.15 million to move to the 48th richest wallet across the globe.
Bitcoin whales now accumulate BTC
Reports submitted by data reporting firm, Glassnode, has shown that significant Bitcoin whales are now accumulating wallets across the globe. The firm noted that the total number of wallet addresses with 1,000 BTC reduced drastically after the sell-off that happened on March 12.
