The Bitcoin network has witnessed another significant event. A Bitcoin address that had been dormant for 14.5 years suddenly became active, attracting widespread attention from the crypto assets community. This address starts with bc1qsea3m and has transferred 50 Bitcoins to another address for the first time. The recipient address is associated with several well-known exchanges, which may suggest an OTC Trading transaction.

This whale-level wallet currently holds 3,963 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $457 million based on the current market price. Even more astonishing is that the acquisition cost of these Bitcoins was only $0.32 each, meaning its return on investment has exceeded 360,000 times.

Although this transfer has attracted market attention, the impact of this movement may be relatively limited compared to the recent selling pressure of 80,000 Bitcoins (which the market has already digested). It is noteworthy that since July, several long-dormant Bitcoin addresses have begun to become active, including a large transfer of 10,600 Bitcoins.

Despite these large transfers, the price of Bitcoin remains above the $18,000 level, demonstrating strong resilience in the market. Industry insiders speculate that the sudden activity of this whale may be due to profit-taking, engaging in OTC Trading with institutions, or asset adjustments for tax considerations.

With the awakening of these long-dormant addresses, market participants need to continuously follow on-chain data to timely grasp significant capital flows that may impact the market. This event once again proves that in the decentralized world of Crypto Assets, the behavior of large holders can still have a profound impact on the entire ecosystem.
