Unknown Wallet Transfers 2,000 Bitcoin Worth $166 Million to Bitfinex

An unidentified digital wallet transferred 2,000 Bitcoin, valued at roughly $166 million, to cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex on Friday at 9:16 a.m. ET. Detected by blockchain tracking service Whale Alert, the transaction comprised over half of the source wallet's prior balance of approximately 3,589 BTC, leaving about 1,589 BTC remaining. The inflow follows an earlier movement of 2,500 BTC to Bitfinex on October 5, sparking scrutiny over potential near-term selling pressure even as market pricing shows confidence that Bitcoin will hold above the $76,000 threshold.
