Published
A wallet tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack moved 12,267 BTC, worth about $1.01 billion, to new addresses on Thursday. In one related movement, 6,000 BTC went to a fresh address, while another report says more than 6,200 BTC had already been sent to Coinbase Prime over two days.
What this rests on
What it means
Wallets connected to the 2016 Bitfinex hack are the part of the market that notices this immediately, because the funds moved into new addresses and some related coins were sent to Coinbase Prime. That means traders and exchange infrastructure are watching the movement itself, not any finished outcome, because the transfers already happened and the destination addresses are visible.
