Notably, this transaction occurred via Coinbase Institutional – a division of Coinbase catering to businesses and financial institutions, offering comprehensive services for managing digital assets.

These transactions involved the withdrawal of 843.53 BTC, which is equivalent to approximately $60.45 million, from Coinbase Prime. Little information is available about the sender behind this address.

Starting from that point up until the present moment, they exclusively moved Bitcoin from Coinbase out of their account, amassing a total of 4,535 Bitcoins in the process. These Bitcoins were transferred to Coinbase Institutional more recently, leaving their Coinbase address completely empty now.
