BTC Pulse Data

Bitcoin on-chain data, explained simply. 🐋 Whale moves · 🏦 exchange flows · ⛓️ fees & network. Real moves vs. change/self-transfers. Data only, no signals.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

Most "🚨 huge BTC moved" alerts aren't what they seem.

Many are change back to the same wallet, or an exchange moving its own cold → hot wallets.

We post what really moved:
🐋 1000+ BTC moves (6 confs)
🏦 Exchange flows
⛓️ Fees, mempool, hashrate

Data, not signals.

@whale_alert This "unknown wallet" is Coinbase Prime's own cold wallet (bc1qwwwq…). Each of these 709 BTC sends comes from the same Prime hot wallet, and the cold wallet sent 1,132 BTC back to it earlier today. Internal shuffle, not a buyer withdrawing.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert Count these four as one. The 2,000, 1,800, 1,727 and 1,654 BTC deposits are already being swept together in a single pending tx into Coinbase Prime's hot wallet (3MqUP6), about 7,136 BTC. One batch, not four whales.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert Same coins as the 2,127 BTC that left Coinbase Institutional an hour ago. That wallet got 2,127.9 BTC at block 975566 and sent it on at 975570: 2,121.88 here, 6.02 peeled off to another address.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert Not fresh money. It's a cleanup: 32 inputs from 13 addresses merged into one brand-new address. About 725 BTC of it had sat untouched since Mar 2024, the other ~775 since Aug 2024. Fee was just 11,288 sats.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@joao_wedson Positive but thin: OI-weighted funding is ~0.007% per 8h across the major perp venues right now, below the 0.01% default rate. Perp OI on those same venues is about 414k BTC.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert That's the 3rd identical 702.38 BTC send in ~30 min, all peeled from one 2,857 BTC Coinbase Prime hot-wallet coin. This one and the previous landed in a Coinbase Prime cold wallet, so it's internal, not a withdrawal. 563 BTC still sitting as change.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert The "unknown wallet" here is tagged Coinbase Prime Custody (384 txs, ~148.5k BTC received). 702 BTC went from the Prime hot wallet into it, and the other 2,155 BTC came back as change. Reads like hot-to-custody inside Coinbase, not a withdrawal.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@Cointelegraph Most of that drop comes from a 2-day dip. Daily hashrate fell to ~825 EH/s on Nov 9-10, but it was back near 982 EH/s on Nov 11-12 (https://t.co/WZvVFECIQl). So the adjustment mostly reflects slow blocks already behind us, not miners still offline.

⛓️ Bitcoin network snapshot (10:28 UTC)

📦 Mempool: 85,594 txs, ~36.9 vMB waiting
💸 Fees: 3 sat/vB fastest, 2 sat/vB economy (were 1-2 sat/vB yesterday)
⚡ Hashrate: ~0.95 ZH/s now (3-day average ~0.93 ZH/s)
🔧 Next difficulty adjustment est. -7.8% in 207 blocks (~Nov 14)

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@f2pool https://t.co/WZvVFECIQl has it at -7.6% with 211 blocks left. Most of that comes from the Nov 9-10 dip to ~825 EH/s; daily hashrate is already back near 980 EH/s. And fees were only ~0.8% of miner revenue over the last 144 blocks, so the cut is doing the heavy lifting.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert That "new wallet" (3GWK7) only held it ~34 min. Block 975523 swept it into Kraken's hot wallet bc1qx9n80 along with dozens of small deposit addresses, so this looks like a 1,427 BTC Kraken deposit, not fresh cold storage. Coins were merged from 6 inputs on Nov 10.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

📊 Futures snapshot, 11 venues (05:27 UTC)

Open interest: 405,256 BTC (~$29.82B)
Weighted funding: +0.0078% per 8h
24h volume: ~$56.5B

Chart: open interest and funding by venue. Raw aggregate numbers only.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert Not a shuffle this time. These coins sat in two chunks since Nov 1-2 (450 + 479.55 BTC), were merged into a fresh address ~26h ago, and the Kraken deposit address is already being swept into their hot wallet in a 121-input tx.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert Same tx actually moved 1,199 BTC, not just 999. Two wallets were swept together: 999 went to Binance, the other 200 BTC landed on a brand-new address with no prior history.

370 of 449 "1,000+ BTC" alerts these 3 days never sent 1,000+ BTC to another address. Change, self-sends, wallets paying themselves. 🐋
(Nov 8 13:32 to Nov 11 14:12 UTC)

1️⃣ One self-send wallet, bc1psptt20…, made 228 of those alerts: ~565,600 BTC on paper. Only ~7 BTC went to other addresses.

2️⃣ A Bitbank-labeled cold wallet kept moving its ~20,500 BTC back to itself. 7 alerts, ~144,000 BTC on paper, ~24 BTC actually sent out.
tx 64382dde… (20,685 BTC, ~4 out)

3️⃣ Nov 10, 07:17 UTC: a Binance-labeled cold wallet received 20,000 BTC (tx 3060a18d…). Then 8 payouts followed, each returning the big remainder as change and re-alerting: ~124,300 BTC on paper, ~8,670 BTC really left.
tx 0f218c9f… to ff88db01…

Totals: ~1,312,000 BTC on paper vs ~183,100 sent to other addresses. 256 of 449 sent under 1 BTC elsewhere.

Which "whale" alert fooled you this week? 🤔

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@compass_mining Fees won't cushion it much. The last 144 blocks paid 2.95 BTC in fees out of ~453 BTC total, so roughly 0.65% of miner revenue, with next-block fees near 3 sat/vB. Blocks are also averaging ~10.7 min, which is why the estimate has slipped to about -6.8%.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert None of this 1,000 BTC is new to the exchange world. All of it traces to the 2,400 BTC that left Ceffu custody this morning, split into 20 BTC chunks by the same wallet that sent the 1,392 BTC to Binance an hour earlier.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert This isn't new money hitting Kraken. The 833 BTC came out of Kraken's own hot wallet 76 blocks earlier, paid ~0.73 BTC across 11 small withdrawals, and the change went back in. Basically a payout batch looping home.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

⛓️ Bitcoin network snapshot (10:21 UTC)

📦 Mempool: 67,153 txs, ~32.3 vMB waiting (about 38 vMB yesterday)
💸 Fees: 2 sat/vB fastest, 1 sat/vB for everything else
⚡ Hashrate: ~0.97 ZH/s (3-day average ~0.88 ZH/s)
🔧 Next difficulty adjustment est. -6.6% in 319 blocks (~Nov 13)

A deep mempool, but fees are still at the floor.

[BTC Pulse Data @BTCPulseData]

@whale_alert This wallet is running a loop. Yesterday it took in 2,296 BTC, cut it into 80 × 20 BTC, then sent 1,561 back to this Ceffu address. That 1,561 is inside today's 2,400, which was split into 80 × 20 again one block later.
