A brand-new wallet has withdrawn 1,398 BTC valued at $118.3 million from the Kraken Exchange. Could this be another institutional buyer? 

 

Bitcoin is signalling a potential mid-term rally and has drawn significant institutional interest as of Q1 2025. As of press time, BTC is trading at $84,460 per CoinMarketCap data. Despite slight price fluctuations, Whale Insider has reported a mysterious wallet accumulating BTC, potentially anticipating a rally soon. According to the X post:

So, what does this suggest?

As centralized exchange reserves drop due to large withdrawals (potential accumulation), BTC’s scarcity rises. As demand grows, Bitcoin surges as traders anticipate and speculate on future price increases.

While the withdrawal seems like another crypto transfer, timing and scale influence the market behaviour in the crypto space.

Global Liquidity is surging, and historically, this suggests a potential bullish momentum for Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole.

 

BTC price has flashed potential upside momentum in the past 24 hours, hitting $85,154 with a 37% rise in trading volume, at press time. The global liquidity index (GLI) measures the amount of “free-flowing money” existing in the global financial system. It reflects the overall ease of capital movement across markets and economies.

Looking at the charts, global liquidity is projected to rise, signalling that more capital could be available for investment in risky assets, including digital assets. Historical side-by-side comparison reveals that BTC follows the GLI movement.

According to Analyst Crypto Rover, global liquidity is projected to rise, potentially fuelled by government policies such as central banks lowering interest rates, balance sheet expansion, and Quantitative Easing(QE).

As more money becomes available, it could divert to the crypto market, starting with Bitcoin, toward altcoins. As a result, a bull rally could be on the cards in the next few months.
