As Soon As Bitcoin Hits $70,000, a Billion-Dollar Chinese Whale Steps In and Makes a Massive Sale – What’s Going On?

Following Bitcoin’s rebound from recent declines, pushing its price above $70,000, Garrett Jin, a well-known whale in the market from China, made a noteworthy move.

As soon as the BTC price touched $70,000, Jin transferred a massive amount of 5,000 BTC, worth a staggering $348.82 million, to the Binance cryptocurrency exchange. This transfer, presumably for sale, couldn’t be definitively proven as centralized exchanges can’t verify this, but subsequent onchain data provided some strong clues.

Garrett Jin-linked cryptocurrency wallet withdrew $53.12 million worth of USDT stablecoin from a Binance deposit address to its own cold wallet, following a transfer of 5,000 Bitcoin to Binance. Given that this withdrawal caused the BTC price to fall below $70,000 again, it’s likely the whale sold its holdings.

However, the Chinese cryptocurrency giant still holds 30,000 Bitcoins worth $2.09 billion.

Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council

The post Best Crypto to Buy as Saylor & Crypto Execs Meet in US Treasury Council appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor and a group of crypto executives met in Washington, D.C. yesterday to push for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill (the BITCOIN Act), which would see the U.S. acquire up to 1M $BTC over five years. With Bitcoin being positioned yet again as a cornerstone of national monetary policy, many investors are turning their eyes to projects that lean into this narrative – altcoins, meme coins, and presales that could ride on the same wave. Read on for three of the best crypto projects that seem especially well‐suited to benefit from this macro shift:  Bitcoin Hyper, Best Wallet Token, and Remittix. These projects stand out for having a strong use case and high adoption potential, especially given the push for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve.   Why the Bitcoin Reserve Bill Matters for Crypto Markets The strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill could mark a turning point for the U.S. approach to digital assets. The proposal would see America build a long-term Bitcoin reserve by acquiring up to one million $BTC over five years. To make this happen, lawmakers are exploring creative funding methods such as revaluing old gold certificates. The plan also leans on confiscated Bitcoin already held by the government, worth an estimated $15–20B. This isn’t just a headline for policy wonks. It signals that Bitcoin is moving from the margins into the core of financial strategy. Industry figures like Michael Saylor, Senator Cynthia Lummis, and Marathon Digital’s Fred Thiel are all backing the bill. They see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a hedge against systemic risks. For the wider crypto market, this opens the door for projects tied to Bitcoin and the infrastructure that supports it. 1.
