From thousands of Bitcoin on the move to a new way to exchange LTC and BTC, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.
Bitcoin
Crypto whales are tracking a huge transfer of 15,000 BTC worth about $176 million. The whale moved the trove of Bitcoin in a single transaction from one unknown wallet to another.
Traders speculate the big transaction may have been an over-the-counter (OTC) purchase of BTC. OTC trading is conducted directly between two parties at a fixed price, without the use of an exchange.
