BitMEX Moves $800 Million in Bitcoin Amid Market Turbulence
BitMEX made headlines by transferring over $800 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) in two significant transactions amidst market volatility.
The moves , totaling 15,806 BTC, significantly reduced BitMEX’s Bitcoin reserves as part of an ongoing initiative to upgrade wallet infrastructure and optimize block space usage initiated in June 2023.
These actions are viewed both as strategic financial maneuvers and responses to market uncertainty, exacerbated by recent events like the German government’s BTC sale and Mt. Gox repayments, which triggered significant long liquidations exceeding $600 million.
Alongside these developments, US economic indicators from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provided mixed signals. Job growth slowed while the unemployment rate slightly rose to 4.1%, reflecting potential economic challenges.
