Before the massive transfer, the same unknown account sent 0.3 BTC to the address. The fee charged for the transaction was 0.06 BTC which is just above $700.
Since the transaction, the crypto community has been speculating consequences and might have triggered such a massive transaction. Some have linked the transaction to the Bakkt as they announced earlier that from 6th September they would begin offering the storage of customer bitcoin to prepare for the launch of Bakkt Bitcoin Futures. Transaction on blockchain.info shows that more than 94,000 BTC were sent to a single address from 15 different addresses.Â
