Bitcoin Whales Move $8.6B as Trump Signs Landmark Crypto Law

Bitcoin Whales Move $8.6B as Trump Signs Landmark Crypto Law

After 14 years dormant, early Bitcoin giants stir—just as Trump signs the U.S.’s first crypto law.


Eight early Bitcoin wallets moved $8.6 billion last week after 14 years of silence, coinciding with Bitcoin’s $122K high and President Trump signing the GENIUS Act, the first major U.S. crypto law.

One whale sent 40,000 BTC ($4.77B) to Galaxy Digital, which quickly routed $236M to exchanges, triggering a dip to $116K.

The GENIUS Act enforces 1:1 stablecoin backing and regular audits. It also removes federal restrictions on crypto-bank partnerships—part of Trump’s “Crypto Week” push to make the U.S. a blockchain hub.

Despite the correction, Bitcoin ETFs drew $522M in one day, and Ethereum hit $3,800. Analysts say the whale moves show confidence, not fear.

Africa could benefit too: Nigeria leads in adoption, and U.S. clarity may boost stablecoin use across the continent.
