Bitcoin is back in the spotlight after reports confirmed that coins untouched since 2012 have been moved for the first time.

Wallet Reactivates After 13 Years According to Onchain Lens, the address that first received coins on November 26, 2012, moved 132.03 BTC in a single transaction. The transfer was worth about $15 million at current prices. The same wallet also sent five BTC to the Kraken exchange. After those moves, it still holds 308 BTC — a stash now valued at nearly $35 million. In total, the address once controlled 444 BTC, which the report places at more than $50 million combined. A dormant whale woke-up after 13 years, moved 132.03 $BTC ($15.06M) to a new address and depositing 5 $BTC into #Kraken. The wallet still holds 307.79 $BTC ($35M). It has received these $BTC for just $5,437 at $12.22https://t.co/mhCNYQs7cA pic.twitter.com/L0ltIwu6Oe — Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens) September 11, 2025 Early Holder Made A Tiny Bet That Paid Off Based on reports, the coins were originally bought when Bitcoin traded at about $12.22 per coin. The wallet’s total purchase cost was only $5,435. That original outlay has turned into massive gains. The current math shows a profit in the ballpark of $15.60 million on that small initial buy. Simple numbers like that help explain why stories about old wallets get attention. Bitcoin Price And Market Momentum Bitcoin has pulled back above the $116,000 mark. Data from Coingecko show BTC trading at $116,083, a daily move of 0.25% and up 3% over the past week. The market still remembers August 14, 2025, when BTC hit an all-time high of $124,450. Those price swings are part of the backdrop for why a whale moving coins draws extra interest now. Institutional Flows Pick Up Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $757 million in inflows on Wednesday. That is the largest single-day number since July 17 and extends a three-day streak of positive flows. The steady inflows suggest bigger players are adding exposure, or at least reallocating capital into the market. Total crypto market cap at $3.95 trillion on the daily chart: TradingView Stablecoin Reserves Hit Records Meanwhile, reports from CryptoQuant indicate Binance saw its largest net stablecoin inflow of the year on Monday, a little over $6 billion. Binance’s stablecoin reserves are reported to be near $40 billion, while aggregate stablecoin holdings across exchanges hit about $70 billion last week.

Bitstamp has outpaced Robinhood in crypto trading less than three months after being acquired. Robinhood finalized its $200 million acquisition of Bitstamp on June 2, adding more than 5,000 institutional clients and 50,000 retail customers to its total base. Bitstamp recorded $14.4 billion in crypto trading volume in August, a 21% increase from July. The same period saw Robinhood’s crypto volumes drop 18% to $13.7 billion. Reports indicate that this volume had been trending down for Robinhood since November last year, when it registered a record quarter, but recovered in July 2025 before falling again in August. Bitstamp, by comparison, has burgeoned since joining Robinhood in June. Analysts say the exchange’s stronger links to institutional clients, decades-long regulatory credentials in over 50 jurisdictions, and reputation as one of the world’s oldest crypto trading platforms make it an appealing spot for traders. This reversal stands out, as Bitstamp was picked precisely to enhance Robinhood’s crypto and international proposition. However, within months of the deal, it is already outdoing the parent company in the segment it was supposed to complement. Acquisition boosts Bitstamp’s performance Robinhood and Bitstamp deal intended to diversify Robinhood’s business beyond its app and extend its reach in markets regulated across Europe, the UK, the US, and Asia. Apart from introducing many institutional and retail clients to Robinhood’s platform, Bitstamp granted over 50 regulatory licenses worldwide. As earlier reported by Cryptopolitan , this placed Robinhood on an even firmer grip with financial regulators. Bitstamp is under Robinhood’s new name, Bitstamp by Robinhood, and is part of Robinhood Legend and the company’s Smart Exchange Routing (SER) system. This integration makes trading across two platforms more straightforward for customers. Furthermore, it positions Robinhood to drill deeper into the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market. During its own crypto slowdown, Robinhood’s total assets were up in August. The company’s customer assets grew 2% to $304 billion, $41 billion of which was generated by crypto. Robinhood also boasts 26.7 million funded accounts for August, which reflects consistent customer growth with the firm. Only recently added to the S&P 500 index , Robinhood has established itself as a well-recognized financial player outside mainstream stock markets. Analysts say this milestone was hailed as a victory for the digital asset economy, adding that Robinhood’s inclusion in the index expands exposure to crypto-linked companies. Market stays flat, but optimism builds The wider crypto market finished virtually flat in August as prices of larger assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum ended the month close to where they began. Ryan McMillin, chief executive of Australian crypto fund management firm Merkle Tree Capital, alluded to seasonal factors. Robinhood has a customer base oriented towards North America, and that group may have traded less during the summer holidays, he said. Analysts also called investors “wait-and-see” with emphasis on whether weakening US job and inflation information could lead to interest rate cuts. Political strain has also been growing, with President Donald Trump advocating loose monetary policy and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hesitating. Still, optimism remains. CK Zheng, CIO of ZX Squared Capital, thinks crypto could exceed record highs before the year’s end, bolstered by increased institutional uptake, crypto ETFs, and the increasing use of digital assets by treasury companies. Robinhood has also been experimenting with additional blockchain-style services. In July, it launched a layer two network focused on tokenization in the European Union. The transaction data on US stocks will be available to its EU customers. The company also introduced perpetual futures trading in the EU. All transactions are routed through Bitstamp. These changes imply a new strategy; Robinhood has introduced Bitstamp to finance its global crypto operations. The numbers indicate that Bitstamp is holding the torch for Robinhood’s crypto ambitions. And whether this transition is sustainable will hinge on market rebound, regulatory clarity, and Robinhood’s capacity to evolve without going off the rails or falling short of the law.
