Odaily Planet Daily reports that the ancient Bitcoin whale 18TExP, after lying dormant for over 12 years, transferred all 500 BTC it held to a new wallet one hour ago, valued at approximately $31.27 million. On-chain analysts speculate that the holder may have heightened awareness of asset security due to the recent Coldcard security incident and moved the Bitcoin to a new wallet address.
