The type of report below has popped up regularly about BTC for years. Whenever you see it, keep this in mind. With BTC or any asset, if a very large holder gets in motion on the sell side, it’s often because he’s aware of a large buyer in the market. That awareness can come from his own market knowledge, or from sources including sell or buy side desks, etc. In my past experience as a market maker on a big sell-side desk, we’d often get a call from a hedge fund or mutual fund who would give us a large sell order and say something like “Don’t be in a hurry, there’s a big buyer out there.” Sometimes the seller would even name the big buyer. This trading dynamic is even more relevant to BTC, where the entire market can see when a big holder “wakes up” (ie, transfers BTC). The holder knows this, of course, so it’s often likely that he’s aware of a specific large bid out there that will compensate for everyone seeing that he’s woken up. Of course this dynamic isn’t always the case. Sometimes a big holder just wants out and he doesn’t know or care about anything else. But keep the above in mind when you see this type of report.
40,000 bitcoins have been sent to Galaxy, probably for sale. Is this cause for panic? No, it's cause for celebration. This is precisely the process of monetization. The distribution of a monetary good into the population. Fewer hands to more hands. Bitcoin is becoming money.
