Bitcoin Whales Withdraw Massive BTC Reserve From Exchanges, Impacting Bitcoin Price Surge

Bitcoin whales have been withdrawing a significant amount of BTC from exchanges in the past week, taking advantage of the surge in Bitcoin price past $73,000. Over 21,000 BTC was withdrawn this week, with a staggering $752 million worth of BTC withdrawn on Thursday, marking the highest single-day withdrawal since May 2023. This mass withdrawal has had a swift impact on the Bitcoin price, which experienced a notable crash on Friday, falling over 7%. However, the emergence of 13 new whales with holdings of over 1,000 BTC suggests growing interest in Bitcoin among large players.

  • Uniswap founder: Founders and VCs need to stop valuing startups and pre-coin crypto projects at more than $1 billion

    Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on social media that cryptocurrency founders and venture capitalists need to stop valuing projects at over $1 billion in the early stages of development and before tokens have been released, until they are truly worth that valuation. Building something worth 7-9 figures is an incredible achievement, and not every project needs to be a unicorn at launch. Additionally, Hayden Adams said, perhaps it's naive, but I think raising funds as a founder at a fair valuation (real talent wants upside) and investing at a fair valuation as a VC (LPs want upside) can make more money. It's just harder to do it that way.

    According to CNBC, Gary Gensler, the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in an interview that the SEC oversees $110 trillion in capital markets, with approximately half in the stock market and half in the bond and other markets.
