A single wallet that has sat untouched since 2011 jolted the market overnight, wiring 40,009 BTC -- worth roughly $4.68 billion at prevailing prices -- to New York‑based trading giant Galaxy Digital. The address had held 80,009 BTC in total and had never previously moved funds in the modern era. According to on‑chain sleuth Lookonchain, "the Bitcoin OG with 80,009 BTC ($9.46 B) has transferred 40,009 BTC ($4.68 B) to Galaxy Digital," and Galaxy "has directly deposited 6,000 BTC ($706 M) into Binance and Bybit." The activity began late Monday evening (UTC). First, 9,000 BTC -- about $1.06 billion -- left the dormant wallet, followed an hour later by another 7,843 BTC ($927 million) Over the next five hours several smaller tranches arrived at Galaxy Digital's custodial accounts before the decisive push that brought the running total to 40,009 BTC. Blockchain explorers show the coins originated from a bech32 address that first received block rewards in early 2011, when bitcoin changed hands for less than one US dollar. Notably, Galaxy Digital operates one of the largest over‑the‑counter (OTC) desks in the industry and regularly intermediates block trades for institutions seeking to avoid slippage on public venues. The firm advertises "premier execution" and bespoke liquidity provisioning for trades that are too large for order‑book execution. On‑chain analysts therefore read the wallet's choice of counterparty as a signal that the owner intends to liquidate at least part of the hoard discreetly rather than deploy it into DeFi or cold storage. Within hours of receiving the coins, Galaxy split 6,000 BTC between Binance and Bybit, the two venues that currently post the deepest spot‑BTC liquidity. Bitcoin had just printed an all‑time high of $123,153 on 14 July, buoyed by Washington's "Crypto Week" legislative push. As the OG whale's transactions hit public mempools, spot prices recoiled more than 6%, sliding from $123,000 to an intraday low near $115,700 before stabilising around $116,900 at press time. With half of the stash now under Galaxy's control and only a fraction confirmed as exchange deposits, traders are bracing for further transfers. If Galaxy executes an OTC cross, the impact could be muted; if the coins bleed into order books, bids at $112,000‑$115,000 will face a major test. However, today's price drop can not solely be attributed to the OG whale's doing; it coincided with the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' June CPI print, which showed headline consumer prices rising 0.3 % month‑on‑month and 2.7 % year‑on‑year -- up from 2.4 % in May -- while core CPI ticked up 0.2 % on the month and 2.9 % on the year. The modest print pushed the dollar index above 95.5, and risk assets have been whipsawing ever since. "The price action on the dollar pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this CPI report -- mixed and the market is trying to digest it and to figure out the direction today," observed Daan Crypto Trades on X.
Mumbai, Jun 5 (PTI) The rupee snapped its two-day losing streak and closed 8 paise higher at 85.79 against the US dollar on Thursday, supported by positive domestic equities and a rise in Asian currencies.
