As recounted by Whale Alert, which was illustrated above, it implies that the transfers took the Bitcoin Whale about 7 minutes. The reason behind this suspicious movement of funds has become a subject of debate among the cryptocurrency enthusiasts on Twitter.
However, as generally believed, these huge transactions could be from a cryptocurrency exchange for the security of funds. But the significance of Whale movements on Bitcoin price cannot be thrown underfoot. And the impact of manipulation of Bitcoin Whales in the past has tended peopleβs interest in their activities.
