In just two minutes on the night of June 11, 2020, an unknown user performed an operation to move bitcoins in the amount of 132,255, which in the equivalent at the exchange rate amounted to $ 1.3 billion.
According to Blockchain.com, this transfer was divided into three operations with the number of bitcoins: 44085, 44235, 43935, respectively. The transaction fee was $ 1.9.
The implementation of an operation for such a significant amount interested the cryptocurrency market community. One of the visitors to the news site Reddit allegedly expressed his opinion that the transaction could be related to the depository department of the Coinbase platform. However, this assumption was rejected by other users, as there was no trace of the connection between the e-wallet and Coinbase.
Another users joke was directed towards the American Internal Revenue Service, which allegedly paid for Coinbases services for the transfer of information on cryptocurrency transactions. Last week, information was received about possible plans for the sale of software.
Earlier in April of this year, the largest bitcoin transfer operation at that time was performed on the Bitfinex platform in the amount of 161,500 and in dollar terms amounted to $ 1.1 billion.
However, the largest bitcoin transfer operation took place in 2011 on November 16, which involved 500,000 bitcoins, corresponding to the dollar equivalent at the current exchange rate at the time of $ 1.32 million, which is almost $ 5 billion at todays rate.
In 2019, in October, an operation was made to transfer bitcoins in the amount of 112,027, which amounted to over $ 930 million at the exchange rate at that time. At the same time, the commission was only $ 3.89.
In the same 2019, in September, an operation in the amount of 94,504 bitcoins was carried out, which at that time amounted to more than one billion dollars, and the amount of the commission was withheld in the amount of 700 dollars.
In the summer of 2019, in June, a bitcoin transfer operation was carried out on the Binance platform for a total amount of $ 1.26 billion, with a commission amount of $ 124.6.
