The flow matters mainly because of timing. Crypto markets have been swinging hard since this week’s liquidation driven selloff, and traders are on edge for any sign that miners are turning into forced sellers.
Large miner related transfers can be routine treasury management, custody reshuffling, collateral moves, or preparation for an over the counter sale, but in a thin market they often get read as a supply signal.
The Two Prime leg will draw the most attention because it is a credit and trading counterparty. If the bitcoin is being posted as collateral or rotated into a strategy, it does not necessarily imply spot selling.
The transfers comes amid a tough period for miners, with bitcoin down nearly 50% from peak prices above $126,000 last year.
Bitcoin is now approximately 20% below its estimated average production cost, as CoinDesk reported Thursday, increasing financial pressure across the BTC mining sector.
The average cost to mine one bitcoin is around $87,000, according to data from Checkonchain, while the spot price has fallen toward a weekly low of $60,000 Historically, trading below production cost has been a feature of a bear market.

$5 billion floods into XRP in a day; Here’s why
The post $5 billion floods into XRP in a day; Here’s why appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP extended its rally on September 18, adding more than $5 billion in market value in under 24 hours. The token climbed from $3 to $3.10, pushing its market cap from $180.47 billion to $185.79 billion at the time of publication. Trading activity also surged, with 24-hour volume up 57% to $7.21 billion, as per data retrieved by Finbold from CoinMarketCap. The move coincides with confirmation that the REX-Osprey XRP ETF ($XRPR) will debut today after earlier delays. Unlike traditional spot ETFs, $XRPR will operate under a Registered Investment Company (RIC) structure, holding XRP alongside cash and Treasuries. Analysts say the product offers three key signals: it provides regulated exposure for U.S. investors without requiring direct XRP custody, it highlights growing institutional acceptance despite SEC hesitation on other ETF applications, and it is already sparking ETF-driven trading activity in spot markets. Sustaining daily volumes of over $200 million will be a key test in the weeks ahead. XRP technical analysis From a technical perspective, XRP has broken above its 7-day SMA ($3.06) and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement ($3.07). The MACD histogram flipped positive (+0.0223), while the RSI (57.09) suggests room to extend without tipping into overbought conditions. Immediate resistance sits at $3.18, with a clean break opening the door to the $3.48 target at the 127.2% Fibonacci extension. XRP’s latest move combines ETF-driven institutional interest, technical resilience, and altcoin market tailwinds. While the ETF structure may not drive direct XRP demand as aggressively as a spot product, its novelty could attract new pools of capital and further legitimize the asset in U.S. markets.
