A new week has passed and we’re about to enter the weekend. As usual, a lot happened in the crypto world this week. Bitcoin reached its All-Time High (ATH), a Whale transferred 2,207 Bitcoins worth $147 million, AMC Entertainment all set to accept 4 cryptos from next month, and much more. The Crypto world is always full of excitement and we’re just as pumped up to cover the latest buzz around it.

Let’s just have a detailed look at the major things that happened this week.

Bitcoin price hits $69k for a brief period of time

On Wednesday, 10th November, the price of everyone’s loved Bitcoin (BTC) reached a new all-time high of $69,000. Trades began to exit the market shortly after reaching this new milestone, causing the price of bitcoin to plummet by about $7,000 and bring it below $63,000. Though it didn’t last long, the ATH gave BTC enthusiasts a lot to cheer about.

The present downward movement is certain to surprise some investors, but minor corrections following the achievement of new all-time highs are standard procedures for Bitcoin.

2207 Bitcoins worth $147 million transferred by 2013 Whale

On the same day when BTC reached its ATH, an idle bitcoin wallet that was created on October 7, 2013, transmitted 2,207 so-called “sleeping bitcoins” worth approximately $147 million. 

This whale activity is identical to the dormant address change that occurred in May 2021 with a wallet from the same year. The activity from bitcoins gained in 2013 saw re-distribution transfer at the time.
