Bitcoin Whale Unloads 80,009 BTC ($9.46B) in Epic Sell-Off—Market Braces for Impact

A seismic shift rocks crypto as one of Bitcoin's original whales cashes out their entire 80,009 BTC stash—worth a staggering $9.46 billion at current prices. The move sends shockwaves through the market, leaving traders scrambling to decode the implications.

Who blinked first?

While some see this as a classic 'buy high, sell higher' play, others suspect a calculated exit before the next regulatory shoe drops. After all, nothing says 'I trust the system' like converting digital gold into cold hard fiat—just in time for yacht season.

The sell-off triggers immediate volatility, proving once again that in crypto, the only constant is someone else's life-changing money move. Will this spark a domino effect or just another blip on Bitcoin's relentless climb? Either way, the whale's message is clear: profit-taking beats diamond hands when you're sitting on generational wealth.

Bitcoin OG Shits Last 40000 BTC to Galaxy DigitalBitcoin OG Shifts Last 40000 BTC to Galaxy Digital “That’s Literally $8 billion” Long-standing bitcoin bear Jacob King took the opportunity to target enthusiasts of the premier cryptocurrency. He argued that the selling Bitcoin whale joins a growing list of early investors “jumping ship” recently. Why are they selling? Jacob alleged it was because they know what is coming. According to him, Bitcoin was going to crash—a sentiment he has persistently echoed, despite BTC’s continued rise to fame and unprecedented prices. Meanwhile, a user disagrees. “Dude, that’s literally $8 billion dollars that’s nothing,” the reaction pointed out. In truth, the $9.46 billion moved was meager in comparison to Bitcoin’s $2.38 trillion market cap. Nonetheless, such a shift typically raises skepticism among short-term Bitcoin holders. Moreover, there is an emerging sentiment that Galaxy Digital bought the bitcoins, MartyParty highlighted this in a post today.
