A German government-linked Bitcoin wallet has transferred 400 bitcoins, worth $24 million, to major cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase and Kraken, according to PeckShieldAlert.

Further details provided by PeckShieldAlert disclosed that the transactions originated from the Bitcoin address labeled as “bc1qq0…738z,” suspected to be linked to the German government. Initially, two separate transactions of 200 BTC each were processed, with the respective amounts sent to Coinbase and Kraken. This was followed by another transfer, a larger sum of 500 BTC valued at over $30 million, directed to a previously unknown wallet coded as “139Po.”

According to the latest data, the price of Bitcoin stands at $61,255.66, with a minor increase of 0.16% observed in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $1.2 trillion, with an active trading volume of $38.3 billion during the same period. The total circulating supply of Bitcoin is now 19,716,425 BTC out of a maximum possible 21,000,000 BTC.

Technical analysis of Bitcoin’s daily price chart reveals a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 32.06, suggesting that the currency might be oversold. This condition indicates a potential upcoming reversal in price trends.

Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is positioned below the signal line, hinting at a possible bearish sentiment in the market. Investors and traders are advised to closely monitor these indicators alongside broader market conditions before making financial decisions.

While Germany’s Bitcoin activity raises questions about institutional adoption, the political climate in the U.S. is also heating up around cryptocurrency. Former President Trump’s reported plans to address the Bitcoin 2024 convention in Nashville signal a stark contrast to President Biden’s cautious stance, potentially influencing investor sentiment as the next election cycle approaches. This divergence in political views underscores the growing importance of cryptocurrency in global economic and policy discussions.
