The post Bitcoin Whales Trigger $4B Sell-Off, Raising September Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin Bitcoin’s latest rally has drawn heavy profit-taking from the biggest holders, with more than $4 billion worth of BTC offloaded in a single day, according to CryptoOnchain. The last time such intense selling hit the market was in February, and only July 4 saw a larger wave this year when nearly $9 billion was realized. The selling came primarily from whale wallets. Super whales controlling over 10,000 BTC were responsible for about half the total, while large and mid-sized whale accounts contributed another $1.7 billion combined. Analysts see this as a sign that long-term investors are cashing in at elevated prices, handing liquidity to short-term traders more likely to panic during corrections. This shift of coins from “strong hands” to “weak hands” raises the risk of near-term turbulence. Historically, such patterns often emerge close to local peaks, setting the stage for a cooling-off period or consolidation phase before a new push higher. Red September Risks Back in Focus The timing of this sell-off is especially notable, as September has long carried a bearish reputation across both traditional and crypto markets. Since 2013, Bitcoin has posted negative returns in most Septembers, with average losses of nearly 4%. Coupled with rising inflation concerns and uncertainty over the Fed’s upcoming meeting, the whale-led selling could intensify those seasonal headwinds. Market analysts caution that the $110,000 zone is a critical level to watch. A decisive break below could fuel more liquidations and trigger a deeper reset. On the other hand, if whales step aside and retail inflows hold steady, Bitcoin could weather the September storm and bounce back in October, which has historically been one of its strongest months. For now, the data paints a picture of a market caught between large holders locking in profits and hopeful investors positioning for the next… The post Bitcoin Whales Trigger $4B Sell-Off, Raising September Concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
