Following a move of about 1,200 BTC from 12 long-term Bitcoin wallets from 2015 on Friday, the same entity transferred an additional 500 idle BTC of $47.4 million on Saturday.
2015 Crypto Whale Shifts 500 Bitcoin
The large whales moved a considerable amount of Bitcoin acquired on November 10, 2015, when BTC was selling for $374 each. Yesterday, news from Bitcoin.com reported that 12 wallets, founded on November 10, 2015, sent 1,200 BTC, which today appears to be led by the same hand, and another 500 BTC changed course.
Notably, 500 BTC moved on Saturday and was discovered by btcparser.com, but was obtained as early 1,200 BTC on the exact day, with spending patterns on both days showing impressive consistency. Five P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash) removes smaller pieces and addresses a set of distinct Bech32 P2WPKH (Pay-To-Witness-Public-Key-Hash) addresses.
BTC was originally moved from the wallet originally created on November 10, 2015, but these coins and other coins associated with them can be traced back to the P2PKH wallet “15x9R”, which at one point held 1,000 BTC. This particular wallet was originally funded with 1,000 coins when BTC traded for $117 each on April 3, 2013.
Additionally, for a particular transaction loaded with “15x9R” at 1,000 BTC, Arkham Intelligence details that it incorporated a coin supervision technology designed to hide the origin of the fund by blending multiple outputs and multiple inputs into the original transfer.
1,200 BTC moved yesterday, and 500 BTC transferred on Saturday showed excellent privacy compared to most movements of BTC on long roofs. A notable difference was that there were no outputs that matched the type of input observed.
