$307 Million Bitcoin Leaves US Largest Crypto Exchange in Just Hours: Details

Popular blockchain tracking platform Whale Alert, which monitors large cryptocurrency movements between crypto exchanges and individuals, has spotted several consecutive transfers, carrying roughly $307 million worth of Bitcoin cumulatively.

These withdrawals were made by anonymous wallets as the price of the world’s largest digital currency rolled back a little, leaving the recently reached $104,000 level behind for the time being.

$307 million in Bitcoin withdrawn from Coinbase

The above-mentioned data source spotted six consecutive transfers that took place several hours ago. Each carries between 493 BTC and 514 BTC worth around $50 million each. This sums up to a total amount of 2,988 BTC worth $307.4 million.

This data comes from the Whale Alert website and was not published on its X account. While this may seem that these Bitcoin chunks were withdrawn from the largest US cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase, by anonymous whales, details of each transaction here shared by Whale Alert suggest that part of these transfers went directly to wallets associated with Coinbase. This make them internal transactions as the platform, perhaps, decided to reshuffle part of its Bitcoin holdings.

Coinbase holds tremendous amounts of Bitcoin, not only for its retail customers but also acting as a custodian for many institutional ones. In particular, it holds BTC for spot Bitcoin ETFs run by BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, etc.

Over the past day, Bitcoin has shed nearly 2%, descending from $104,017 to the $102,055 price level, where it is changing hands at the time of writing this article.
