Spot On Chain has reported that this ancient Bitcoin holder, who had been inactive for 14 years, startled the market by depositing a staggering 1,000 BTC to Coinbase. This haul, now valued at a jaw-dropping $67.1 million, was minted way back in 2010, when the price of Bitcoin was a mere fraction of its current value, indicating a potential profit of around $60 million.

This unexpected awakening coincided with Bitcoin's surge to an all-time high of $69,000, only to be swiftly followed by a sharp downturn. The subsequent market crash saw Bitcoin prices plummet by 14% to $59,000, triggering panic among traders. According to CoinGlass, over $1 billion worth of positions were liquidated within a mere 24 hours, with long positions accounting for a substantial $796.95 million of that figure.
