Долгожданное пробуждение: 400 BTC, хранившихся 12 лет, неожиданно активированы Translation: Long-Awaited Awakening: 400 BTC Stored for 12 Years Suddenly Activated

The owner of an inactive cryptocurrency wallet, dormant for 12 years, has withdrawn approximately 400 BTC valued at $44 million, as reported by Lookonchain analysts.

According to data from Arkham, the funds from this address were transferred to several wallets, with the majority of the transactions occurring in batches of 15 BTC. Consequently, the user’s balance now stands at zero.

Analysts clarified that the initial coins were received from miners about 15 years ago. The identity of the owner and the reasons for the transfers remain unknown.

Over the course of 12 years of inactivity, the price of Bitcoin surged from $135 to $122,149.

Lookonchain also noted the activity of an Ethereum whale. Five months ago, this whale sold 1857 ETH for $4.18 million at a price of $2,251.

Recently, this whale repurchased 1501 ETH, spending $6.17 million at a rate of $4,114.

It is worth mentioning that in August, a whale that «woke up» after 12 years transferred 750 BTC to Binance.
