Arkham Intelligence reported:
“German Government BTC Movements. German Gov. wallets received 1,915 BTC ($111.5M) last night from addresses linked to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. 1,047.4 BTC ($57.2M) has been moved out of their wallets this morning: 547.4 BTC ($30.1M) to Flow Traders, 500 BTC ($27.1M) to 139Po (likely for institutional/OTC service).”
The exchanges involved in this transaction include Kraken, Coinbase, and Bitstamp. These were the same platforms used by the German government for selling Bitcoin last week.
Impact on Bitcoin Market
The German government’s previous strategy of selling Bitcoin had created significant selling pressure. This had driven Bitcoin’s price to new lows and caused concern within the crypto community.
This buyback has raised speculation and optimism among industry watchers and global Bitcoin investors. Besides buying back $111.5 million worth of Bitcoin, Arkham Intelligence revealed that the government also transferred 1,047.4 BTC out of their wallets. A substantial portion, 547.4 BTC valued at $30.1 million, went to Flow Traders. Another 500 BTC, worth $27.1 million, is believed to have been allocated for institutional or OTC services.
