According to @EmberCN, a Bitcoin whale who accumulated 3,962.6 BTC at $0.375 in January 2011 has recently awakened and started distributing holdings. After ending a 14-year dormancy, the whale transferred 450 BTC (worth approximately $53.42 million), with 150 BTC sent in batches over the past five days to Coinbase and market makers B2C2 and Wintermute. Traders should monitor increased BTC supply on exchanges, as such whale activity can trigger short-term volatility and impact BTC price direction (source: @EmberCN).
