There was a very strange movement in the crypto market: 80,000 Bitcoins worth over 9 billion dollars have been dormant in digital wallets since 2011, and suddenly, the day before yesterday, they moved.
Ki Young Ju, founder of the analytics platform CryptoQuant, said on platform X that the movement of these coins comes from very old wallets, specifically from the days of MyBitcoin, which was one of the first platforms where people deposited their money before it was hacked and shut down in 2011.
The analysis says that these wallets have been dormant since April 2011, which means for more than 14 years, and they were in complete hibernation until they suddenly moved.
👤 Who is behind these wallets? The situation is very mysterious, and there are two possibilities being proposed.
Either these wallets were under the control of the hacker who stole the platform long ago, or they belong to the mysterious founder Tom Williams, who disappeared after the platform was hacked, and no one has heard anything about him since.
What’s striking is that these coins were transferred directly to Galaxy Digital, which manages the assets of major investors, and they sold the entire amount through private transactions without appearing in the market.
