A Bitcoin wallet that had been dormant for 10.8 years recently moved 24 BTC, marking a significant gain.
Data from Whale Alert reveals that a Bitcoin wallet, untouched since November 2013, has been activated. The 24 BTC in the wallet, initially valued at around $10,915, is now worth approximately $1.46 million—a gain of 13,245%.
The reason for this sudden move is unclear, but it may indicate the holder is cashing out after a lengthy period of inactivity. Despite the large gain, this amount is small relative to the overall Bitcoin market.
Additionally, analyst Checkmate noted that 80% of Bitcoin held by short-term investors (those who bought within the last 155 days) are currently at a loss.
This could lead to potential sell-offs, but these losses represent only about 4% of Bitcoin’s total market cap.
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
