With a current holding of 4,300 BTC valued at $313 million, the trader has realized an estimated profit of approximately $217 million.
Overall, the confluence of record-breaking ETF inflows, shifting wallet dynamics, and strategic trading maneuvers underscores the dynamic nature of the Bitcoin market and highlights the continued allure of digital assets among investors worldwide.
