Ten Million Bitcoin Transferred on Coinbase
An anonymous whale holding $20.5 million worth of Bitcoin has transferred most of its wallet to the Coinbase exchange. Transactions took place at the address named “38r1YP8hPME9hX4pG58QWoHLya6GsmPpNh”. Crypto transfers from wallets to exchanges are often interpreted as a bearish signal.

Hardware wallets store investors’ private keys offline and protect cryptocurrencies from online attacks. According to experts, the whale makes these transfers for two reasons.
What does transfer mean?
When whales transfer Bitcoin to an exchange, it usually means they are looking for liquidity. Since the security risks of holding a large amount of cryptocurrencies on an exchange are higher than holding it in a hardware wallet, it is unlikely that the investor plans to keep their cryptocurrencies on Coinbase. It is thought that the Bitcoin whale plans to either sell Bitcoin or exchange it for other altcoins. cryptocoin.com As we reported, today, the 4th largest Ethereum whale has purchased LINK, MATIC and FTT in large quantities.
