A newly created wallet has withdrawn 538.42 BTC, worth approximately $50.12 million, from Galaxy Digital. This action represents part of broader whale and institutional activities affecting the Bitcoin markets in late 2025.

Galaxy Digital, a key institutional crypto manager led by CEO Mike Novogratz, facilitated the transaction. The firm’s activities have reflected a trend of substantial Bitcoin outflows, with over 1,500 BTC leaving its holdings recently.

The withdrawal has exerted downward pressure on Bitcoin’s market price, which has dropped to around $100,000. This movement coincides with a broader trend of whale selling and heightened exchange inflows in October 2025.

Market dynamics reveal significant financial impacts, including reduced liquidity and increased volatility. Galaxy Digital’s strategic roles in such transactions underline key shifts within institutional investment patterns.

Historical patterns mirror these events, typically leading to temporary declines and market corrections. Insights suggest potential consolidation and a renewed accumulation phase following institutional outflows.

Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, stated, “Bitcoin has entered a new phase, absorbing institutional flows with lower volatility.” Regulatory scrutiny continues, adding complexity to unfolding technological and financial outcomes.
