Recently, a major wallet address withdrew 1,000 BTC and then deposited it into an exchange, successfully earning $3.42 million. This move reflects the sharp market timing of large holders and also demonstrates that even in volatile markets, institutions can still achieve stable profits through arbitrage.

【Blockchain Rhythm】Recently, there was an interesting operation detected in on-chain monitoring data — a major whale address withdrew 1,000 BTC a week ago and has just redeposited these coins into an exchange. This isn’t random messing around; the behind-the-scenes accounting is clear: how much it cost at the time of withdrawal and how much it can be sold for now, the price difference between these two points allowed this whale to easily record a profit of $3.42 million.

Measuring 1,000 BTC in USD is $93.25 million, and such a large-scale operation on the chain cannot be hidden. From the time of withdrawal to deposit, it’s obvious that they timed the market rhythm precisely. The trading movements of such major whales have always been a focus of market attention — their inflows and outflows often reflect their judgment of market direction. This transaction also serves as a reminder to traders that even in volatile markets, large institutions and whales continue to leverage price differences to achieve stable gains.

3.42 million a week, is this what you call "stable income"? Why am I still getting liquidated on contracts here? Whale's game, small investors watch and learn, but in the end, they can only pay tuition. Perfectly illustrates the bear market philosophy — the rich make money, the poor learn lessons. Once I draw the supply and demand curve, I understand that we are not even in the same market. If this operation were in the 80s, even the CSRC probably wouldn't be able to regulate it.

Whale's move is incredible, grabbing 3.42 million in a week like that... I'm wondering when we retail investors can be this casual too.

3.42 million per week? This whale really knows how to pick the right timing. While we retail investors follow the trend by buying and selling, they quietly profit from the spread.

3.42 million dollars a week? I need to learn how whales operate; I, as a small retail investor, lose every day.

This whale earned 3.42 million in a week, and I'm still following the trend by burning gas...
