On January 5th, an anonymous person initiated a transfer of 26.9 BTC (worth about $1.19 million) to the Genesis wallet, the very first wallet on the Bitcoin network, created by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto. This event took place at 1.52 AM ET, coinciding with Bitcoin's 15th anniversary. Notably, the funds deposited were unrecoverable.
Arkham Intelligence, an on-chain analytics firm, noted that the sender engaged in complex transactions involving various addresses before moving the Bitcoins to the Genesis wallet. This activity was primarily funded by a withdrawal of nearly 27 BTC from what is believed to be a Binance-owned wallet. The only recorded activities in the sender's wallet were these transactions.
Some speculate that Binance's compliance team might know the sender's identity, given the stringent Know Your Customer (KYC)
