5,000 Bitcoin: crypto whale reawakens after years

A crypto whale reawakened after years of inactivity and moved 5,000 Bitcoin worth more than 130 million euros.

A crypto whale with the address 1LH1dY82QFtNGinBpCakU5WcTUKRyuztTz moved 5,000 Bitcoin worth more than 130 million euros last weekend.

Previously, the wallet, whose owner is unknown, not touched for three years.

4,000 of the Bitcoin moved in five transactions went to a wallet with the address bc1q5rpq5wppf5tua2yd97nscp8gpz8fq0w740g22c, while 1,000 went to the address 34aed6ryXt6ZCHv6k2WPiyy7ap5VbyHr8D.

The sender address has a remaining balance of 0.001 BTC worth $35.22 after the transactions.

While the former is holding the 4,000 Bitcoin at the time of writing, the latter has been very active, redistributing the 1,000 BTC to three wallets, from which the coins were in turn forwarded.

Originally, the crypto whale 1LH1dY...tTz received the 5,000 Bitcoin from the mining pool Poolin.
