In a surprising turn of events, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale, inactive for approximately four years, has reemerged from the shadows, making a substantial move in the cryptocurrency market.&nbsp;
<a href="https://x.com/lookonchain/status/1730053375184736329?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lookonchain</a>, a prominent crypto analytics platform, has reported that the whale has executed a transfer of 3,623 BTC, valued at an impressive $136.94 million, to two newly created wallets.
This financial giant had stealthily accumulated its crypto assets at an average cost of $6,889 per&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-btc-bull-mike-novogratz-bad-actors-are-out" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a> in the period from Oct. 25, 2018, to Dec. 31, 2019. At that time, the total investment was a mere $24.96 million. Fast forward to today's market prices, and the whale is now sitting on a staggering profit of approximately $112 million.

The timing of this monumental move coincided with&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/north-korea-linked-crypto-mixer-gets-in-us-crosshairs" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> achieving its highest value since May 2022, soaring to an impressive $38,500 per BTC. The crypto community is abuzz with speculation, with some analysts pointing to a potential correlation between such awakenings of dormant Bitcoin holders and impending sell-offs.
Notably, a similar pattern emerged earlier this year, where a series of unexpected awakenings resulted in an 18% correction in&nbsp;the <a href="https://u.today/bitcoins-btc-price-soars-in-daring-push-to-new-heights-eyeing-40000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC price</a>, plummeting to a temporary low of $24,777. While it is too early to determine if this recent awakening will spark a trend, market observers are keenly monitoring this development.
This resurgence marks the first of its kind in a while, and its implications for the broader crypto landscape are yet to be fully understood.
