Bitcoin Whale Moves 7,073 BTC to Unknown Wallet
- The total value of the transaction stands at around $330 million.

Bitcoin whales are on the move again as an anonymous user transferred 7,073 BTC to an unknown wallet on 27 February. The move came after Bitcoin crashed from $58,000 to as low as $44,000 in the last few days.
According to the Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable. Because a blockchain is stored across a network of computers, it is very difficult to tamper with. The Evolution of BlockchainBlockchain was originally invented by an individual or group of people under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. The purpose of blockchain was originally to serve as the public transaction ledger of Bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency.In particular, bundles of transaction data, called “blocks”, are added to the ledger in a chronological fashion, forming a “chain.” These blocks include things like date, time, dollar amount, and (in some cases) the public addresses of the sender and the receiver.The computers responsible for upholding a blockchain network are called “nodes.” These nodes carry out the duties necessary to confirm the transactions and add them to the ledger. In exchange for their work, the nodes receive rewards in the form of crypto tokens.By storing data via a peer-to-peer network (P2P), blockchain controls for a wide range of risks that are traditionally inherent with data being held centrally.Of note, P2P blockchain networks lack centralized points of vulnerability. Consequently, hackers cannot exploit these networks via normalized means nor does the network possess a central failure point.In order to hack or alter a blockchain’s ledger, more than half of the nodes must be compromised. Looking ahead, blockchain technology is an area of extensive research across multiple industries, including financial services and payments, among others.

Read this Term tracker and crypto analytics platform Whale Alert, the total value of the transaction stood at around $337 million. The mentioned transfer was recorded on blockchair.com and the user paid a total of 0.00011920 BTC ($5.65) in transaction fees.
Anonymous Bitcoin transfers are rising at a rapid pace along with the volatility of the world’s largest crypto asset. BTC is now down nearly 20% over the last few days as the digital currency dropped to as low as $43,240 over the weekend. The price has recovered marginally since then as Bitcoin is now trading at around $47,200 with a total market cap of more than $880 billion.
Additionally, Whale Alert reported two significant Bitcoin transactions on Saturday involving 4,509 BTC. Two anonymous users moved 2,379 BTC and 2,130 BTC respectively from crypto exchange Coinbase to unknown cryptocurrency wallets.
Bitcoin Outflows
According to the data compiled by Bloqport, the Bitcoin supply on leading crypto exchanges is dropping sharply. More than 25,000 Bitcoin worth over $1 billion has left Coinbase in the last week. Moreover, Bitfinex reported significant BTC outflows during the same period. Finance Magnates earlier reported about the supply issues Bitcoin is currently going through as BTC supply at leading exchanges has reached its lowest level in nearly 3 years. Furthermore, JP Morgan highlighted the liquidity crisis in BTC recently and mentioned that even a small move can have a large impact on the price of BTC.
