- Whale Transfer: A Bitcoin miner moved 2,000 BTC to Coinbase after holding for 15 years, valued at nearly $200 million, indicating a trend of early holders selling off amid market volatility, which may exacerbate instability.
- Market Dynamics: Whale holdings have dropped to 3 million BTC since late 2024, indicating a trend of large-scale sell-offs, raising concerns among market analysts about potential impacts on Bitcoin's price stability.
- Transaction Background: The transferred Bitcoin was stored in 40 separate P2PK addresses, showcasing the original method of Bitcoin address usage, reflecting the contrast between historical behaviors of market participants and current trends.
- Price Volatility: Bitcoin's price exceeded $126,000 in early 2025 but fell 30% to around $86,000 by mid-December, with whale selling behavior closely linked to changes in ETF demand, leaving future market expectations uncertain.
