TREE NEWS reports: A whale that withdrew 615.4 BTC from Coinbase Prime custody 16 months ago at an average price of $105,271 deposited 438.37 BTC, worth $35.38 million, back to Coinbase Prime overnight. With BTC now at $80,807, the position is sitting on an unrealized loss of more than $15 million. The whale still holds assets worth $14.31 million.
Whale Deposits 438.37 BTC to Coinbase Prime at a Loss of Over $15M
The significance here is less the size of the loss than the venue: Coinbase Prime is custody-and-execution infrastructure favored by institutions, so a partial return of coins withdrawn 16 months ago reads as a de-risking or liquidity move rather than retail panic. It affects the marginal supply picture, since the remaining holdings suggest the position is being scaled out rather than fully exited. Whether the residual balance follows the same path is the open question worth watching.
