Bitcoin "whale" wallet resurfaces after seven-year dormancy, moves $188 million in BTC

AI Market Summary

A long-dormant Bitcoin whale wallet transferred 2,931 BTC (~$188m) after seven years of inactivity, according to Arkham data. Such reactivations are closely watched because they can signal potential distribution, custody changes, or OTC settlement, affecting near-term liquidity conditions and trader positioning. While the move does not confirm selling, it can raise short-term volatility risk as the market assesses destination wallets and follow-on activity.
