Satoshi Era BTC Sale: $9 Billion and Market Stress Test
🐋 Galaxy Digital conducted a historic deal — 80,009 BTC sold from 2011 wallets (~$9 billion).
— The sale caused a stir: discussions are underway about who was behind the transaction — from Roger Ver to Satoshi himself.
— Galaxy stated that this is the client's "inheritance planning."
📉 BTC dropped to $115K but quickly recovered to $117.3K.
— Large volumes are distributed: Binance, Bitstamp, Bybit, OKEx, and others.
📊 Market Comments:
— Theya: the market held up without panic — this is a sign of maturity.
— Jason Williams: BTC may continue to rise if the wave of selling does not intensify.
⚠️ About 12,000 BTC remain from this batch. If they hit the market — volatility is possible.
Summary: despite the volume of the deal, the market remains resilient. This is one of those tests that separate an overheated bubble from a real bull cycle.
