Leading on-chain analysis and tracking platform Whale Alert highlighted yesterday that an unknown crypto address moved 4,000 BTC worth over $86 million to Gemini. Bitcoin made a recovery of more than 30% from its recent lows. However, the largest crypto asset by market cap fell again by almost 11% last week.
This has caused the network activities within the market to slow down. But the recent massive movement of BTC to the Gemini exchange shows that whales are still very much interested in the market. It also shows that while the retail traders and investors are dragging their feet regarding more Bitcoin accumulation, institutional investors keep piling up and increasing their holdings. They are anticipating a future rise in the token. According to Whale Alert, the transfer was executed at 22:06 UTC.

Glassnode also noted that the supply of dormant Bitcoin is increasing. The data aggregation platform stated that the last percentage of BTC moved five years ago has reached a record level of 24.4%.

Bitcoin is a currency passing through one of its worst market corrections. Although Whales are still showing interest in the market, the overall count of their transactions is still lower than the levels in the past two consecutive years.
