What does massive Bitcoin transfer mean?
Cryptocurrency transfers from wallets to exchanges are often considered a pessimistic indicator. Most high-net-worth Bitcoin investors keep their funds in a hardware wallet that offers superior protection than cryptocurrency exchanges.

It can be speculated that this Bitcoin whale plans to either sell Bitcoin or exchange it for other cryptocurrencies.
