A Bitcoin wallet dormant since 2011 transferred out approximately 49.97 BTC on August 6, equivalent to about $3.2 million at current prices.
Odaily News – A long-dormant Bitcoin wallet moved nearly 50 BTC, worth approximately $3.2 million, on Thursday. The wallet received 49.97 BTC back in 2011, when Bitcoin was trading at around $10 per coin. The BTC was sent to a SegWit address that has previously transferred Bitcoin to institutional broker FalconX and received funds from wallets linked to Nexo and Prime Trust. The newly transferred BTC has not left this address. The transfer comes amid long-term holders rechecking their old storage setups following a major vulnerability exploit in Coldcard hardware wallets. There is currently no evidence linking the 2011 wallet to this vulnerability.

Additionally, a total of 106,148 BTC from IBIT and 770,839 ETH from ETHA were used for ETF share redemptions during Q2. (cryptoslate)
CryptoQuant analyst abramchart stated that data shows Bitcoin recently recorded significant inflows into accumulation addresses, with over 38,000 BTC transferred into wallets typically associated with long-term holders and OTC settlement. On the surface, this movement leans positive, but when considered alongside the realized price of accumulation addresses, market signals remain relatively complex.
Odaily News: According to Onchain Lens monitoring, an OG whale who accumulated BTC when the price was around $10-15 has transferred 50 BTC to a new address after 10 months of dormancy, worth approximately $3.22 million, possibly for OTC sale. This OG whale address cluster has shown a similar pattern before, with funds subsequently flowing to FalconX or a CEX.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas says the Coldcard security vulnerability enhances the appeal of spot Bitcoin ETFs, with the incident involving approximately $88.6 million in losses.
Odaily News According to Lookonchain monitoring, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of 3,781 BTC today, valued at $243 million; the 7-day net inflow stood at 9,034 BTC, valued at $582 million. Ethereum ETFs saw a net inflow of 27,700 ETH, valued at $52.91 million; the 7-day net inflow reached 40,600 ETH, valued at $77.37 million.
Odaily News: Bitcoin's BIP-110 will enter the enforcement phase after block 961,632, where nodes will reject blocks that do not signal support. Monitoring page data shows that among the 1,674 blocks counted in the current cycle, only 41 blocks support BIP-110, putting the miner signal support rate at 2.45%. BIP-110, officially named "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork," plans to tighten certain data rules in Bitcoin transactions within approximately one year, restricting the size of certain data elements used by Ordinals inscriptions and multiple token protocols. The proposal is primarily distributed through Bitcoin Knots, and Bitcoin Core has not adopted it. Major mining pools such as Foundry, Antpool, F2pool, and Viabtc have not issued support signals. If BIP-110 nodes execute as planned, the network could see two transaction histories, with the majority of miners and Bitcoin Core users expected to continue using the existing rules. Australian Bitcoin exchange Hardblock stated that BIP-110 activation is expected around August 7-8 and may temporarily suspend buying, selling, deposits, and withdrawals. Lightning Network tools and analytics provider Amboss has warned of a fork risk in early August, and Australian Bitcoin exchange Bitaroo plans to freeze deposits and withdrawals as the mandatory signaling deadline approaches.
According to CryptoQuant on-chain data, total institutional BTC holdings, including trusts, ETFs, and closed-end funds, have decreased from 1.33 million BTC three months ago to 1.2 million BTC, a decline of approximately 10%. Meanwhile, the corporate Bitcoin treasury model is also facing pressure. Novaque Research analysts pointed out that the market cap of multiple Bitcoin treasury companies has currently fallen below the net asset value (NAV) of their BTC holdings, and the previous positive cycle mechanism of "stock price premium → financing to buy BTC → strengthening premium" has significantly weakened. The listed company with the largest holdings, Strategy, even sold 1,638 BTC last week.
Odaily News According to Arkham monitoring, BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has recorded net capital inflows for multiple consecutive trading days this week, with investors increasing their Bitcoin holdings every day.Data shows that as of now, IBIT has purchased approximately $478.5 million worth of Bitcoin this week.Market analysts believe that the continued inflow of institutional capital into spot Bitcoin ETFs reflects the growing demand from traditional investors for digital asset allocation. As one of the world's largest asset management companies, the capital movements of BlackRock's IBIT are also regarded as an important indicator for measuring institutional investor participation in the Bitcoin market.
According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility has fallen to the 36% long-term support bottom, with prices trading in a narrow range below $65,000. Adam Haeems, Head of Asset Management at Tesseract Group, warned that in a low-volatility environment, declining trading costs actually attract traders to establish large-scale directional bets and hedge positions. Once the market breaks through key levels, market makers' passive hedging will accelerate price volatility, leading to a mean-reverting rebound in volatility. Regarding market sentiment, Paul Howard, Senior Director at Wincent, pointed out that current demand for put options has significantly weakened, but call option buying is also absent—Glassnode describes this as "no one is paying for upside, and no one is paying for downside," believing this is typically a signal that the market is approaching a cycle bottom. The divergence in price trends between DOGE and BTC also confirms the continued absence of speculative sentiment. Howard stated that the next significant catalyst could be institutional ETF fund inflows driven by positive regulatory developments such as the Clarity Act, while a breakdown in Strait of Hormuz negotiations and inflation shocks constitute major downside risks.
According to Trader T data, the total net inflow for US spot Bitcoin ETFs yesterday was $244.42 million. Among them, BlackRock IBIT ranked first with a net inflow of $196.83 million; Ark ARKB had a net inflow of $37.63 million, Fidelity FBTC $11.28 million, Bitwise BITB $10.56 million, and Morgan Stanley MSBT $2.79 million.
Odaily News According to on-chain analyst Ember Monitoring, a whale opened a 40x leveraged short position on 1,600 BTC yesterday, worth $102 million, with a liquidation price of $64,889. Subsequently, the whale set stop-loss orders between $64,885 and $68,254, placing them in increments of 50 BTC each. At 4 AM, BTC rebounded to $65,000, triggering 4 of the stop-loss orders, reducing the position by 200 BTC, worth $13 million, and realizing a loss of $146,000. The whale still holds a short position of 1,400 BTC, worth $90.54 million, with the latest liquidation price at $64,998.
CryptoQuant stated that as crypto asset prices remain under pressure, large holders are increasing their positions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, indicating they may be preparing for the next market cycle.The firm believes this behavior suggests the current bear market may have entered its final phase. However, CryptoQuant also emphasized that the market has not yet confirmed a bottom, and prices could still decline further.CryptoQuant Research Head Julio Moreno stated that the largest holder groups of BTC, ETH, and XRP are increasing their supply holdings as prices approach or fall below their realized prices. This shift in positioning helps reduce downward pressure and aligns with characteristics typical of the late stage of a cyclical downturn.Data shows that, excluding exchanges and mining pools, Bitcoin whale balances have rebounded from a low of approximately 2.87 million BTC in December 2025 to roughly 3.06 million BTC. This data also excludes holdings by ETFs or digital asset treasury companies.CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin whale holdings have maintained a positive 30-day growth for most of 2026, and accumulation intensified when Bitcoin fell below $60,000 in June. However, current whale balances remain below the 2025 bull market peak of approximately 3.23 million BTC, suggesting there is still room for continued accumulation.
According to Odaily, despite spot Bitcoin ETFs recording net inflows of $211.5 million on Tuesday, the price of Bitcoin remained largely flat, hovering around $64,000. Analysts believe this movement resembles the market being compressed into a low-volatility state, rather than signaling an impending sharp decline.On the same day, spot Ethereum ETFs also recorded net inflows of $53.8 million. In the broader macro market, the S&P 500 index closed at a record high of 7,737 points on August 4, the Nasdaq rose 2.6% driven by AI earnings, and Brent crude oil fell below $80 due to easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.Wintermute OTC trader Jasper De Maere stated that ETF buying entering the market but failing to push Bitcoin's price higher is itself a key signal, indicating that marginal buyers in the spot market are not truly one-sided bulls. He believes that for Bitcoin to sustain its recovery narrative, it needs a clear breakout above $65,000 in the short term.Overall, analysts are interpreting the current Bitcoin price action as a form of "boring bottoming": no obvious panic selling, yet lacking strong upward momentum. ETF inflows provide support, but the price remains suppressed below key resistance, suggesting the market is still waiting for a clearer directional catalyst.
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Galaxy Research stated that the largest known COLDCARD theft incident involves 1,159 BTC, distributed across seven attacker addresses, which remain untouched to date, with 0 BTC cashed out or transferred through mixers. The relevant BTC was stolen within 41 minutes, but approximately 600 attacker addresses have been flagged by law enforcement agencies, exchanges, and blockchain analysis firms. Meanwhile, a smaller-scale attacker appears to have begun cleaning funds. On-chain analysts have tracked 64 BTC entering mixers, of which only about 10 BTC initially completed mixing, 54 BTC returned as change, and were subsequently split into outputs of approximately 7 BTC each for further mixing. Analysts noted that these unusually large outputs remain easy to trace, making this cleaning attempt relatively transparent.
Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, Alex Thorn of Galaxy Research stated that researchers initially identified the first wave of COLDCARD thefts through a distinctive on-chain pattern: thousands of automated asset transfer transactions used the same fixed fee rate and exhibited identical transaction behavior. This characteristic enabled analysts to trace attacker activity across Bitcoin UTXO history and map out multiple rounds of coordinated theft.
