Chief executive of CryptoQuant analytics platform Ki Young Ju has taken to Twitter to share that earlier today, 13,000 Bitcoins were withdrawn from U.S.-based Coinbase crypto giant.
Ki Young Ju stated that those coins were purchased by U.S. financial institutions and they keep acquiring BTC despite the recent correction.
At the price of $48,000 per unit, 13,000 Bitcoins is equal to a staggering $624 million.
"13,000 BTC flowed out from Coinbase"
According to the tweet by CryptoQuant CEO, earlier today U.S. financial institutions acquired $624 million worth of Bitcoin, which now, as the flagship crypto is sitting at $51,000, has turned into $668,244,200, giving the owners approximately $42 million in profit in just a few hours.
Ki Young Ju called this a very positive signal for Bitcoin in his tweet.
