One such transaction involved the transfer of 162,419 BTC, valued at approximately $10.56 million, between addresses "bc1q839" and "bc1qnn." Of particular interest is the lack of transaction history associated with the latter address, indicating its recent establishment, while the sender's address has been involved in previous transactions but with unknown origins.

Despite these sizable transfers, the overall market response has been relatively stable, with Bitcoin maintaining a trading price exceeding $66,000. This resilience suggests a cautious approach among investors, awaiting further developments before making significant market moves, but with a slight bullish bias.
