The receiving wallet, which still holds all the BTC, is now the 307th-richest Bitcoin whale in the world, according to BitInfoCharts. The sending wallet, which now holds nothing, was ranked 290th prior to the transaction.
Bitcoin is trading at $43,095 at time of writing, up more than 6% from its 24-hour low of $40,512.
