The Twitter bot Whale Alert kindly informs the community that three gargantuan Bitcoin transfers have been detected just recently. Together they total $391,671,618 (that’s 39,554 BTC).
The transactions were made between Bitcoin wallets with anonymous owners. However, the sender in one of them is the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, headquartered in San-Francisco, California.
Almost 40,000 BTC on the move
The three transactions spotted by Whale Alert provoked all types of speculations – from Bitfinex maintenance announced earlier today to the funds moved by the PlusToken cryptocurrency scam.
Bitcoin whales were also mentioned.
