A significant event occurred on June 28th involving the transfer of Bitcoin worth 9.8 billion yen by the US Government and a dormant Bitcoin whale. The aim of these transactions, speculated to involve sales, has sparked worries among market participants and analysts.

US Government’s Bitcoin Activity

Recent data from Arkham, a blockchain tracking service, revealed a transfer of 11.84 BTC by the US Government. While this particular transfer is relatively small, it follows a sequence of significant movements totaling around 4,000 BTC to Coinbase this week, heightening concerns about potential selling pressure impacting Bitcoin’s price stability.

In parallel, the US and German governments are making preparations to sell Bitcoin valued at 41 billion yen. This announcement comes at a time of ongoing downtrend in the Bitcoin market, raising further apprehensions about supply increments and their effects on market dynamics.

Revival of a Dormant Whale

Concurrently, a major holder known as a 'whale' reactivated a dormant Bitcoin wallet after a six-year dormancy period. The wallet associated with the address 12EMDoUhaNCuWZeeT6ey61AkjKyzmjV2m3 transferred 1,000 BTC worth 9.68 billion yen to Coinbase, depleting the wallet substantially and indicating potential intentions for selling.

The transfer of large quantities of inactive Bitcoin often serves as a precautionary signal for the market, historically preceding significant price fluctuations.

Furthermore, the trustee of Mt. Gox, a bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, disclosed plans to reimburse creditors with Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash commencing in early July, involving a notable amount of Bitcoin that could accelerate speculative selling.

These collective factors highlight the complex and interconnected nature of the cryptocurrency market, demonstrating how substantial movements by prominent holders or institutions can have a notable impact on market sentiments and pricing. Observers are closely monitoring for further indications of selling pressure or price stabilization as the market adapts to these recent shifts.
