Another bitcoin whale awakes, transfers $7.8 million after a decade of dormancy
A bitcoin whale that has been inactive for a decade transferred 279 bitcoins — worth $7.8 million — to three fresh addresses today.
The wallet in question received 1,128 bitcoins in October 2012 and May 2013.
This latest transfer comes a day after another long-dormant bitcoin whale transferred 2,071.5 BTC — worth $60.7 million — yesterday after nine years of inactivity.
In other Bitcoin-related news, the deadline for Mt. Gox creditors to provide their repayment information passed earlier this month — opening the window for repayments that should be carried out by Oct. 31, 2023.
Mt. Gox is set to distribute an unknown portion of the 142,000 BTC ($3.9 billion), 143,000 BCH ($17.9 million) and 69 billion Japanese yen ($523 million) that it holds via payments made in bitcoin, bitcoin cash and fiat.
The bitcoin price is currently above $28,100 after declining by more than 2% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
