According to a chart by IntoTheBlock, this week, massive amounts of Bitcoin have been transferred daily as Bitcoin rose to reach the $40,000 level.

This week, the amount of daily Bitcoin transfers has hit 260,000 Bitcoins for the first time since May 19—that is the equivalent of a whopping $10,086,154,000.

The analyst team pointed out that this metric is indicative of the number of Bitcoin whales.
