Recent Sale of 80,000 BTC
Previously, Galaxy Digital drew attention after transferring approximately 80,000 BTC from ancient Bitcoin wallets into its custody. This led to a sharp decline in Bitcoin price on July 25, when it became known that Mike Novogratz's trading platform had started depositing thousands of coins onto exchanges.

In light of the large BTC withdrawals, there are speculations regarding whether OG holders have lost faith. Some experts, like Matt Hougan from Bitwise, argue that Bitcoin is still 'pretty revolutionary' and has not lost its foundational purpose, despite Wall Street's involvement.
The massive BTC withdrawals from Galaxy Digital raise questions about the future of the cryptocurrency market and the stability of trust among its long-term holders.
