Bitcoins worth $44 million moved for the first time in a decade
A substantial stack of bitcoins that had been dormant for a decade were moved this morning.
The wallet in question originally received the bitcoins on Jan. 12, 2014, on-chain monitoring platform Lookonchain noted on X. At that time, the price of one bitcoin was $917.
The reason for the transfer remains unknown, as does the identity of the wallet's ownership.
Recent bitcoin whale movements
Other notable bitcoin transfers have occurred in recent months.
In March, an address — the fifth richest on the Bitcoin blockchain — that had been dormant since 2019 moved $6 billion. An entity also combined $140 million in bitcoins mined in 2010 into a single wallet that same month.
In January, nearly 50,000 dormant bitcoins woke up less than a week after spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds were approved in the United States.
Furthermore, while not technically on the Bitcoin blockchain, someone lost roughly $71 million worth of wrapped bitcoins on the Ethereum blockchain in an apparent address poisoning attack.
The price of bitcoin is currently trading at $64,269, according to The Block's Bitcoin Price Page .

After the Federal Reserve released hawkish signals, Goldman Sachs changed its stance: expects another 25 basis point hike in October
Goldman Sachs’ core rationale for including a rate hike in October as its baseline scenario is that since the Federal Reserve has characterized this hike as a move to "more promptly return" to the 2% target, following up in consecutive meetings is more natural than skipping meetings between hikes. However, Goldman Sachs believes that additional rate hikes beyond two are not part of the baseline scenario, mainly because its own inflation forecasts are lower than the median projections of Federal Reserve members.
