Before the fall of bitcoin in the blockchain was a transaction of more than $1 billion

September 6, 2019, at approximately 6:30 a.m., an unknown sender has done the transaction in 94 504 BTC. Information about this appeared on Twitter Whale Alert. In the evening, bitcoin began a large-scale correction that interrupted the wave of growth that began on August 29.

Comments hurried to associate this event with the upcoming launch platform for futures bitcoin platform Bakkt. For example, a mathematician Musa Shamaev believes that it deposits to wallets Bakkt. Others have suggested that this is due to the system setup of the new platform.

Representatives Bakkt already confirmed that they started to accept deposits in bitcoin, but did not comment on the situation with this transaction and receipt of large deposits.

Commodity futures bitcoin platform Bakkt will be launched in the second half of September. ICE (the operator of the new York stock exchange) received permission from the new York state Department of financial services.

Analytical company TokenAnalyst tracked the path of movement of bitcoins prior to such transaction and found that at least a third of the BTC from this transfer associated with the exchange Huobi Global.

Huobi also does not give comments. It is possible that in this way the exchange moves client funds between their wallets.

Another point is noteworthy: the sender chose an exceptionally high Commission - 480 Satoshi per byte, which cost him about $700. With the current state of the network, only 21 Satoshi per byte would be sufficient to include the transaction in the next block. The unknown sender overpaid about 20 times, although he could have paid only $35.
