š§š„š„l Bitcoin wallets suddenly became active š„šš„š¢$BTC $BNB $XRP
again just as BTC slipped below $90,000, catching the market off guard. On December 5, two ancient walletsāsilent for more than a decadeāmoved a combined 2,000 BTC. At todayās prices, that stash is worth over $178 million. Because these wallets hadnāt touched a single coin since Bitcoinās early days, their activity instantly grabbed attention across the crypto space.
One wallet had been inactive for around 13 years and shifted almost all its Bitcoin to a modern address format. The other, untouched for 14 years, sent its full balance to an older-style address. Both transactions used extremely low fees, which is typical for early holders who created their wallets long before Bitcoin became fast, crowded, or expensive.
On-chain data confirms that none of the coins were sent to exchanges, showing thereās no clear sign of selling. Instead, the moves look more like wallet upgrades, key consolidation, or someone recovering very old private keys and securing their coins in a safer setup.#Bitcoinā #BNB_Market_Update
Still, the timing raised questions. Big, old wallets rarely moveāand two waking up on the same day sparked curiosity. Some believe it could be early adopters updating their storage. Others think it might be families or teams managing old digital wealth.
This all happened while Bitcoin hovered around $89,000, down roughly 3% on the day and struggling to hold above the key $92,000 zone. Market momentum was weak, and buyers werenāt showing strength.
Old wallet movements always draw attention because they often belong to early miners. Even when coins arenāt sold, activity alone can shake sentiment. For now, the coins havenāt headed toward any exchange, but analysts will be watching closely for the next move.
