An anonymous <\/span>Bitcoin whale<\/span><\/a> may have triggered a massive sell-off panic in the crypto market recently. According to an X (formerly Twitter) post by Ali Martinez, the whale sold off a whopping 59,000 BTC totaling over $2.45 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Whale Dumps 59,000 BTC<\/b><\/h2>\n

In his X post, Martinez <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> that a Bitcoin whale has initiated a large-scale dump, <\/span>selling off<\/span><\/a> approximately 59,000 BTC. He shared a chart displaying the Bitcoin Spend Output Age Bands which revealed that the Bitcoin whale had initially acquired 59,346.950 BTC during the last six months of 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A staggering 59,000 $BTC<\/a>, initially purchased 3-6 months ago at an average price of $26,000, was recently sold, netting an impressive 57.69% profit. This equates to a total gain of around $885 million! pic.twitter.com\/cxubNOTFdQ<\/a><\/p>\n

As per the crypto analyst\u2019s estimate, the whale had bought this staggering amount of BTC at an average price value of $26,000. With BTC’s current value nearly doubling since the initial purchase, the whale’s 59,000 Bitcoin investment has yielded an outstanding 57.69% profit. This percentage puts the total gain at approximately $885 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This recent <\/span>Bitcoin sell-off<\/span><\/a> adds to a series of similar whale activities observed in the crypto space lately. Shortly after the launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs, a Bitcoin whale <\/span>sold<\/span><\/a> 2,742 BTC worth $127.7 million at the time. This strategic move resulted in a substantial profit of over $74 million. Additionally, reports from Whale Alert have seen 6,621 BTC worth over $276 million being <\/span>transferred<\/span><\/a> from an unknown whale wallet to Coinbase, an American crypto exchange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A whale deposited all 2,742 $BTC<\/a>($127.5M) to #Binance<\/a> to take profits after the #Bitcoin<\/a> spot ETF opened trading.<\/p>\n

The whale withdrew 2,742 $BTC<\/a>($53M) from #Binance<\/a> between Oct 7, 2022, and Dec 29, 2023, at an average price of $19,337.<\/p>\n
