Coinbase's head of product, Conor Grogan, raised concerns about an $8.6 billion Bitcoin transfer from dormant wallets possibly indicating a significant hack.
The transfer involved BTC from eight wallets inactive since 2011, with one wallet testing key functionality with a small Bitcoin Cash transaction beforehand.
Blockchain firm Arkham confirmed the coins originated from a single source, untouched for over 14 years, and were moved into new wallets, raising questions about potential theft or reorganization.
The incident has sparked speculation within the cryptocurrency community about the motives behind the massive Bitcoin transfer and its implications for security in the crypto space.
