Over $1 bln in Bitcoin moved

According to Whale Alert, 123,447 BTC ($1,097,343,503) was transferred between two unknown wallets. In the comment thread a discussion went off as to who could have initiated this gargantuan transaction with the first suspicion falling&nbsp;on self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto,&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/self-proclaimed-satoshi-craig-wright-argues-against-delaying-trial-after-allegedly-receiving-95-bln">Craig Wright</a> (CSW).

$66 mln in Bitcoin moved to Binance anonymously

As reported by U.Today recently, several large Bitcoin transactions were conducted between unknown wallets and the Binance exchange, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="#">totalling $66 mln</a>&nbsp;in Bitcoin. In three out of the five&nbsp;transfers, the same wallet with an unregistered owner was used.

    Over $1 bln in Bitcoin moved

    According to Whale Alert, 123,447 BTC ($1,097,343,503) was transferred between two unknown wallets. In the comment thread a discussion went off as to who could have initiated this gargantuan transaction with the first suspicion falling on self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, Craig Wright (CSW).

    Recently, he stated the private keys to a 1-mln BTC stash were delivered to him by a courier from the Tulip Trust – that is approximately $9.5 bln at the current rate. This Bitcoin was mined by Wright together with his now passed former partner – IT expert Dave Kleiman.

    However, evidence emerged, proving that it was not CSW.
