Today's Top #2: Did a $5B Bitcoin whale sale spark the post-ETF BTC price crash?

tldr; A single Bitcoin whale, who had purchased 100,000 BTC during Bitcoin’s peak in 2021, may have contributed to Bitcoin's $9,000 price drop last week by selling their holdings at $49,000. This sale coincided with the U.S. approval of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which was expected to cause a 'sell the news' event. The whale's sale, after breaking even from a significant price drawdown, could have netted a $100 million profit and may have played a role in the subsequent market liquidations and the ongoing struggle for Bitcoin's price to recover.
