<p style="text-align: justify">A series of developments that even experienced market participants find surprising has caught the attention of the crypto world.

<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-a-series-of-multi-million-dollar-transfers-in-bitcoin-strong"><strong>A Series of Multi-Million Dollar Transfers in Bitcoin</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">The notable series of large crypto transactions began with the transfer of 3,000 BTC worth $85.24 million to Coinbase exchange. This transfer was the first in a series of noteworthy transfers, followed by a total of 6,522 BTC and 6,756 BTC, totaling $376.76 million, from two anonymous wallet addresses.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Two notable transfers were made with a focus on popular altcoin XRP. A transfer of 30.1 million XRP worth $14.73 million was made to Bitstamp exchange, and a transfer of 22.85 million XRP worth $11.17 million was made to Bitso exchange.

<p style="text-align: justify">Meanwhile, the largest altcoin Ethereum also went through a period of movement.
