Bitcoin (BTC) collapsed under $ 111,000 in a sudden flash crash over the weekend after a whale has downloaded 24,000 BTC, or over $ 300 million at current prices, in thin liquidity.
The whale sent a full balance to Hyperunite, with 12,000 BTCs transferred just weeks, as CoinDesk reported Monday. That move removed the acquisitions from fed chair Jerome Powell on Friday and caused heavy forced sale throughout the market.
Sudden sale is fueling liquids worth $ 238 million in Bitcoin positions and $ 216 million in Ether (ETH), which is part of more than $ 550 million that has been cleared the previous day. BTC prices have been temporarily touched below $ 111,000 before stabilizing near $ 112,800 as Asian morning hours Monday.

Analysts said the rally was not just a Macro trade. Institutional purchase and treasury allocations added a tail, feeding the speculation that Ethereum could be Wall Street’s preferred blockchain.
“The new all-time high is a clear sign of investor demand just beyond Bitcoin,” said Samir Kerbage, chief investment official in Hashdex, said in a CoinDesk email over the weekend, As reported.
