The transaction mentioned above came after the anonymous whale initiated two huge transactions on 8th and 9th March, totaling 318 BTC and 412 BTC worth about $30 million at current prices.

According to the data from BitInfoCharts, the Bitcoin whale is the biggest non-exchange wallet in existence. The whale currently holds 126,428 BTC worth around $5.1 billion at the time of filing this report.

In general, according to crypto intelligence firm Santiment, most whales in the crypto ecosystem appear to be waiting patiently before taking massive investment decisions.

Santiment noted:

“Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether have seen plummeting whale transactions, the lowest amount of combined $100,000+ valued transactions in a year.

This isn’t necessarily bearish, but reflective of large players awaiting further war and inflation developments.”
