Bitcoin Whale Movements
The cryptocurrency market continues to experience volatility, even as U.S. markets were closed for the holiday. Recent regulatory actions have added uncertainty. A significant event was the movement of 40,000 BTC by one of the oldest Bitcoin whales, who had been dormant since 2011. These assets, valued at approximately $4.5 billion, were transferred to unknown addresses.

Significant inflows were also observed for Ethereum, amounting to $148.5 million.
Market Impact
Observers are closely monitoring Bitcoin transfers and the course of negotiations to understand the impact on the market. Currently, the addresses receiving transactions have not been identified as exchange addresses, raising new questions about the intentions of this group of investors.
