A transaction of 88,857 bitcoins , a value close to one billion euros, was carried out yesterday afternoon. It is attributed to the Xapo platform which will only have disbursed 27,847 satoshis, or barely more than 3 euros, in transaction fees. Half of this amount would, however, have made it possible to effect this transfer without further delay.
If this is not the biggest transaction in history. On April 10, 2020, Bitfinex had transferred 161,500 BTC , which was at the time a value in euros quite close to yesterday's transaction. Fee: 10,019 satoshis, around 60 euro cents in April 2020.
On February 25, 2020, 111,857 bitcoins had been moved from an unidentified address. The funds were then divided and changed address several times.
