🔥🔥What has happened recently?
In recent days (early July 2025), the movement of Bitcoin by some of these "sleeping whales" has been reported. On July 4, 2025, a Bitcoin whale that had been inactive since the early 2010s transferred 40,000 BTC, with an approximate value of $4.35 billion dollars, through four separate transactions. This was not an isolated event, as blockchain signature analysis reveals a pattern of old Bitcoin whales becoming active in 2025, constituting the largest daily transfer of old BTC in history, with some estimates suggesting that the total value moved exceeded $8 billion when considering related transactions.
What to expect?
The long-term impact of these whale movements remains to be seen and will largely depend on their next steps. If the coins do not enter active circulation through exchanges, the impact is likely to be limited to short-term volatility. Nevertheless, whale activity will continue to be a key monitoring point for Bitcoin investors and analysts.
