As Bitcoin continues its steady climb toward $10,000, crypto traders are closely watching whale movements connected to the leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n
Hours ago, a large Bitcoin holder moved 2,000 BTC worth $18.6 million onto the crypto exchange Binance where it could potentially be sold for altcoins or cash.<\/p>\n
The 2,000 BTC is only part of the whales total Bitcoin holdings. The owner still has 4,053 BTCremaining in the original wallet.<\/p>\n
So far, Bitcoins price remains undeterred. The king of crypto is up 0.42% at $9,352, according to COIN360 at time of publishing.<\/p>\n
The rest of the market is rising alongside BTC, with Ethereum (ETH) up 4.86% at $182.36, XRP up 3.12% at $0.2412 and Bitcoin Cash up 0.03% at $384.58.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the XRP community is monitoring an ongoing series of large transfers involving the South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb.<\/p>\n
In the last 24 hours, 250,000,000 XRP worth $60 million left a known wallet owned by Bithumb and was sent to a separate wallet that was activated by the exchange. It happened in two separate transactions, with the first moving 100,000,000 XRP and the second moving 150,000,000 XRP.<\/p>\n
The movements could either be Bithumb shifting its own funds around or the sale of XRP to a user or institutional player on its exchange. Last week, Bithumb sent 212,000,000 XRP from the same wallet.<\/p>\n
