Bitcoin miner addresses dormant for 11 years have suddenly transferred $7 million in BTC. On-chain data reveals that these long-inactive wallets moved approximately 277 BTC recently. This activity has raised eyebrows in the crypto community, considering the prolonged inactivity. The wallets, believed to be linked to early Bitcoin mining activities, had been untouched since their creation. Analysts are speculating about the reasons behind this sudden transfer. Some suggest it might be related to increased Bitcoin prices or upcoming regulatory changes. Blockchain data firm Arkham Intelligence highlighted this significant movement. The firm noted that such transfers are rare and often linked to early adopters or miners deciding to liquidate their holdings. This movement could impact market sentiment, given the substantial amount involved. Market watchers will be closely monitoring any further activity from these addresses. The crypto community remains abuzz with theories and implications of this transfer, with many wondering if more dormant wallets will follow suit.

Mastercard has taken a significant step in simplifying cryptocurrency transactions by launching the Crypto Credential feature. This new system allows users to send and receive cryptocurrency using a username instead of a complex wallet address. The feature aims to make blockchain transactions more accessible and user-friendly. The initial roll-out includes live transactions on Bit2Me, Lirium, and Mercado Bitcoin exchanges, focusing on the Latin American and European markets. Leif Ferreira, CEO of Bit2Me, highlighted the deepening alliance with Mastercard, emphasizing their shared commitment to innovation in crypto payments. Under the new system, exchanges verify users according to Mastercard’s standards. Verified users then receive a unique alias for transactions. When a user sends funds, Mastercard Crypto Credential ensures the recipient's alias is valid and supports the specific digital asset, reducing the risk of transaction errors. Walter Pimenta, Mastercard's EVP of Product and Engineering for Latin America and the Caribbean, noted that this feature boosts safety and trust in blockchain transactions. It ensures users only engage in verified and supported transfers, fostering confidence in digital asset exchanges. Initially, a select group of crypto wallet users will access this feature on a first-come, first-serve basis. Over the next few months, Mastercard plans to expand availability to over 7 million users across participating exchanges. This move underscores Mastercard’s continued investment in blockchain technology and its commitment to providing secure, simple, and reliable payment solutions. As interest in digital assets grows, Mastercard's Crypto Credential is poised to enhance the user experience and trust in the crypto ecosystem.

Billions in Bitcoin linked to the defunct Mt. Gox exchange have been transferred to an unknown wallet. On May 28, a series of transactions moved 75,021 BTC, worth approximately $5 billion, sparking speculation and market reaction. Some analysts even think the move might have led to the recent Bitcoin 2% dip. The movement comes ahead of the planned return of Bitcoin holdings to Mt. Gox creditors.  Whale Alert, a crypto tracking service, reported multiple transfers within an hour. Blockchain explorer Arkham Intelligence noted 21 transfers from various Mt. Gox cold wallets. Most transactions involved around 2,000 BTC each. An additional 32,137 BTC were transferred later, pushing the total to over $5 billion. These transactions point to a single, unlabeled address. Despite this, Mt. Gox still holds nearly 138,000 BTC, valued at over $9.36 billion. The identity and intent behind these movements remain unclear, as Mt. Gox's trustee firm Nagashima Ohno and Tsunematsu have not commented. The sudden movement of such a significant amount of Bitcoin led to a 2% dip in Bitcoin prices. The market reacted cautiously, trading at $67,875 after the first transfer. Analysts had previously warned that such moves could unsettle the market. Creditors of Mt. Gox have been waiting for over a decade to reclaim their assets following the exchange’s collapse in 2014. The final repayment deadline is October 31, marking a critical date for those affected.

Ledger has started shipping its new Ledger Stax hardware wallet after a significant delay. Initially promised for March 2023, the Stax experienced a 14-month postponement due to manufacturing issues.   The product, revealed in December 2022 at Ledger Op3n, was developed in partnership with legendary Tony Fadell. Yes, the guy who is widely acclaimed as the creator of the iPod. Ledger’s Chief Experience Officer Ian Rogers explained that the extra time allowed them to refine the Stax’s operating system.  The device is launching in a version 1.4 state, which Rogers says is more advanced than typical new devices, which often debut in a version 0.9 state. Rogers noted that building a pioneering product comes with challenges. The extended development period ensured the addition of more features, enhancing the user experience. Fadell’s involvement was crucial in balancing usability and security, making the Stax both appealing and secure. Community feedback had been mixed during the delay, with some expressing doubts about the delivery. However, Ledger has now fulfilled pre-orders, aiming to meet the high expectations set at Ledger Op3n. This launch marks a significant step for Ledger, as it seeks to expand its user base and secure supply chain partnerships. The combination of Fadell’s design expertise and Ledger’s security focus positions the Stax as a key player in the hardware wallet market. For those who pre-ordered, the wait is over, and the improved Ledger Stax is finally in their hands.
