What happened: $ 802,588,853 of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) just transferred between 2 anonymous cryptocurrency wallets in a single transaction.

This mysterious person’s Bitcoin wallet address has been identified as: bc1qxz25z5z3rw7a8thk8exaarce74qyx77cjw6h8s

$ 802 million worth of Bitcoin was sent to an unknown recipient, with the Bitcoin wallet address: 3CjcjjNLTawkm3KDh6cC5eEEx4ZjyeYgE9

Why it matters: Cryptocurrency whales that own millions of dollars in Bitcoin tend to move the markets on their own. If the whale decides to exit this Bitcoin position, the impact on the market could be enough to push the price of BTC down. It takes around $ 15-30 million of selling pressure to lower the price of Bitcoin by 2% on any given exchange.

Since this transaction was not sent to an exchange, this Bitcoin whale is unlikely to be looking for cash. Instead, they can transfer this to another wallet for security reasons.
