After 14 Years of Stagnation, the Satoshi Era Whale Buys 7,000 Bitcoins (BTC)
A Bitcoin (BTC) wallet from the early days of BTC has become active again after 14 years of inactivity. Shortly after becoming active, the address received 7,068 BTC worth approximately US$470 million. Data from Arkham Intelligence identified the address beginning with bc1qq as part of a group often dubbed the “Satoshi Whale,” referring to wallets created between 2009 and 2011. Wallets are rarely touched during this initial phase, so any movement immediately triggers a whale alert notification and becomes a focus for market participants. Because they are typically held in large amounts and have been inactive for a long time, the reappearance of Satoshi-era wallets is almost always met with a swift response from traders and analysts. Bitcoin Price Responds Immediately Shortly after the transaction was detected, Bitcoin's price surged more than 4%, trading around US$69,413. In the next update, BTC was trading around US$70,260, marking a daily gain of around 5%. However, based on CoinMarketCap data, the price of Bitcoin today (February 16) is at the level of US$68,000 or down around 2.06% in the last 24 hours. The previous surge demonstrated the market's sensitivity to whale activity, particularly involving legacy wallets with transaction values of hundreds of millions of dollars. However, the latest price correction indicates that volatility remains high amid on-chain dynamics that are not yet fully aligned. On-Chain Data Shows Mixed Whale Activity
Furthermore, CryptoQuant noted that the group holding 100 to 1,000 BTC accounted for approximately 24.39% of total spending. Meanwhile, the group holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC was around 23.98%. This indicates that large players are indeed active.
In recent days, whales have reportedly distributed over 20,000 BTC, or approximately US$1.40 billion. This indicates that, in addition to potential accumulation from legacy wallets, selling pressure from other whale groups is also ongoing. If the whale selling percentage falls below 20%, stronger accumulation opportunities could emerge. Conversely, if it remains high, Bitcoin could potentially move within the US$65,000 to US$75,000 range in the short term. @Binance_Square_Official
Binance expands RLUSD on the XRP network, opening new liquidity channels for traders.
Binance has fully integrated Ripple USD (RLUSD) into the XRP Ledger, opening up deposit access and expanding availability across Earn, Convert, Margin, and VIP Loan products, expanding the stablecoin's utility and accelerating RLUSD's penetration in the global crypto market. Binance announced on February 12 that the integration of Ripple stablecoin on XRP Ledger has been completed, and deposits have been opened, while detailing additional trading features and products introduced in recent weeks. In its latest update, Binance stated: “Binance has completed the integration of Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the XRP network (XRP Ledger). Deposits are now open. Withdrawals will be available once sufficient liquidity is available.” The update focuses on facilitating deposits through the XRP network, with withdrawals following once liquidity requirements are met.
In a previous announcement published in January, Binance first introduced spot trading of RLUSD on Ethereum, launched a zero-fee promotion for RLUSD/USDT and RLUSD/U, and expanded the token's availability across its yield products, conversion tools, lending features, and trading services. In the January 22 announcement, Binance stated: "Binance is pleased to announce that Ripple USD (RLUSD) will be added to Binance Simple Earn, 'Buy Crypto,' Binance Convert, Binance Margin, and VIP Loan on the dates and times listed below." The update detailed margin support for Cross Margin, Isolated Margin, and Portfolio Margin, as well as card purchase and balance conversion options immediately after trading begins. Ripple explained at the time: "This inclusion includes support for Ethereum, with XRP Ledger (XRPL) coming soon, and XRP/RLUSD and RLUSD/USDT trading pairs available on launch day." Ripple USD is a US dollar-denominated stablecoin issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs. Each token is backed by at least an equivalent amount of US dollars and cash equivalents and is designed to facilitate cross-border payments and institutional settlements. Binance encourages users to implement prudent risk management strategies, notes that newly listed tokens may experience volatility, and directs traders to review updated margin data for collateral ratios, lending limits, and applicable rates as RLUSD liquidity on the XRP network evolves. @Binance_Square_Official

Bitcoin has been nicknamed "Digital Gold," but now a formidable competitor has emerged. Tokenized Gold, which digitally represents physical gold. Who will be the best store of value in the digital era? This debate is not only about technology, but also investment philosophy.
In my view, this debate should not end with one absolute winner being chosen. Both Bitcoin and Tokenized Gold will play an important role, but with different functions in investors' portfolios : >> Bitcoin: The New Growth Asset and Hedge (The High-Risk, High-Reward Bet) >> Tokenized Gold: The Best Liquidity of a Classic Safe Haven Asset (The Digital Evolution of Safety)
Investors must weigh their objectives, If you are looking for exponential growth and accept high risks, focus on Bitcoin. If you are looking for stability, guaranteed intrinsic value, and digital liquidity, focus on Tokenized Gold. Both prove that the financial future is digital, but with different fundamentals.
Wisdom for New Traders: Focus on Risk Management, max 1-2% capital per trade. Discipline & stable emotions are key. Always use StopLoss before entry. And what is important is DYOR. 💞

Speculation is growing that Binance founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), will soon return to the crypto exchange he founded. This rumor emerged almost two years after he stepped down in November 2023.
Quoted from coingape, Thursday (18/9/2025), the issue of Changpeng Zhao's return emerged after Binance officially settled its lawsuit with the US Department of Justice (DoJ). This news made BNB Coin jump 5% to break its all-time high of USD 1000.
Crypto journalist Wu Blockchain reported that Changpeng Zhao changed his profile on the X platform. The description that previously read “ex-@binance” now simply says @binance, fueling speculation that he is preparing to return to lead the company.
This move occurred at the same time as the end of compliance monitoring imposed by the DoJ since 2023. At that time, Changpeng Zhao resigned and pleaded guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws. As part of the deal, he paid a personal fine of USD 50 million out of a total settlement of USD 4.3 billion.

#BTCHashratePeak marks an important moment in the history of the Bitcoin network, when the total computational power used to process transactions and secure the network reached a new all-time high. A high hashrate indicates that more miners are participating, using more advanced and efficient hardware. This enhances the security of the network as it makes 51% attacks more difficult and costly to carry out. The increase in hashrate is typically influenced by the strengthening price of Bitcoin, advancements in mining technology, and energy efficiency.
