And today, the wallet belonging to the German government, labeled "German Government (BKA)" continues the series of Bitcoin (BTC) sales.
On July 10 (around 1:30 pm EDT), transfers totaling 3,750 BTC were made from the said wallet to 2 of the major crypto exchanges and Flow Traders.
Flow Traders is a trading company acting as a market maker that provides liquidity to the securities market using high frequency and quantitative trading strategies.
The first transaction consisting of 375 BTC was sent to the crypto exchange Kraken. Shortly thereafter, the same amount of Bitcoin tokens was sent to the largest US exchange Coinbase.
The transfer to Flow Traders was significantly larger – 3,000 BTC, which equates to about $176.26 million.
About 2 hours prior to these transactions, the German government sent another 750 BTC to Kraken ($44.06 million), 500 BTC ($29.38 million) to Coinbase, and 1,127.38 BTC ($66.23 million) on 2 occasions again to Flow Traders.
Despite Bitcoin soaring past $120,000 and testing new all-time highs, several high-frequency market indicators suggest that the current bull run may still be gathering momentum.
As Bitcoin smashes through all-time highs, crypto-related conversation is surging across social media.
In a striking contradiction to its long-held skepticism toward cryptocurrencies, Vanguard Group now owns more than 20 million shares of Strategy Inc.—the software company famously tied to Bitcoin through its massive holdings.
Bitcoin’s fall from its recent $123,000 all-time high to $117,000 sparked waves of speculation—but according to Deutsche Bank, this isn’t a typical cooldown.
