Whale Alert crypto service, that tracks large transfers of cryptocurrencies, has detected two massive Bitcoin transactions between anonymous whales, carrying a total of almost $2 billion in crypto.

Whale shift $1.67 billion in Bitcoin

The two abovementioned transfers carried 15,100 and 12,006 BTC. That is equal to $929,007,000 and $742,459,249.

According to Whale Alert, these transfers were conducted between crypto addresses with unregistered owners – anonymous crypto whales.

In the meantime, over the past few days, after the flagship cryptocurrency has reached a new all-time high $66,930, it staged a retracement, dropping first to the $63,000 zone and then to the $60,000 level.

Bitcoin has recovered above $61,000 after that but now it has started declining again. This correction, according to CryptoQuant, is due to short-term holders selling their BTC holdings.

Bitcoin active addresses and circulation not slowing down

According to data shared by Santiment, despite the correction back to first $61,000 and then to $60,000, the main two metrics for Bitcoin – active addresses and circulation – remain strong for the leading crypto.
