$9B in Satoshi-Era BTC Sold—Why The Market Barely Flinched
This episode examines Galaxy's execution of an 80,000 Bitcoin transaction worth over $9 billion from Satoshi-era wallets and why it barely impacted Bitcoin's price. The hosts discuss how this demonstrates significant improvements in market liquidity, institutional adoption, and reduced volatility compared to previous large Bitcoin sales. They analyze the role of ETF flows and corporate treasuries in providing natural buying pressure that absorbs large sell orders.
