Bitcoin News: Gemini Founders Transfer $130M in BTC to Exchanges

Key Insights:

• Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss moved about $130 million in Bitcoin to Gemini hot wallets over the past week, based on Arkham data.
• After the transfers, Arkham estimated the Gemini founders still held about $764 million in BTC, with aggregate profit near $1.8 billion.
• Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC key near-term support is $65,000 and could rebound above $100K if it holds $70K zone.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss moved about $130 million in Bitcoin to Gemini hot wallets over the past week, according to Arkham. The suggestion was that the transfers were “presumably to sell.” However, the wallet activity does not confirm that a sale has occurred. Some market participants said the move could also relate to liquidity, custody, or OTC transactions.

Bitcoin News: Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss Moved About $130M in BTC

Recent Bitcoin news states that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss moved about $130 million in Bitcoin to Gemini hot wallets over the past week. The blockchain analytics firm said the transfers were “presumably to sell.” Still, neither founder had publicly confirmed the purpose of the wallet activity at the time of reporting.

The transfers drew attention because the destination wallets were linked to Gemini, the crypto exchange founded by the twins. Wallet moves to exchange-linked addresses are often watched closely by traders.

Arkham said the Bitcoin was sent to Gemini hot wallets across several transactions during the past week. Reports based on the on-chain data placed the total near roughly 1,750 BTC at recent market prices.

The timing of the transfers placed the moves near a period when many whales were selling Bitcoin. That helped fuel fresh discussion around whether the coins were being prepared for sale, moved for internal liquidity, or shifted for another exchange-related use.

Analyst Debate the Purpose of the Move

The transfer destination added to the speculation because the wallets belonged to Gemini’s hot wallet system. In crypto markets, deposits to exchange wallets are often viewed as a sign that assets may be prepared for trading. Even so, analysts and market participants usually treat that signal with caution until on-chain or exchange data shows a completed transaction.

Arkham said they once owned about 1% of the circulating Bitcoin supply. That background helps explain why even a partial wallet move by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss can draw broad market attention, especially when Bitcoin News coverage is focused on large holders and exchange flows.

The Bitcoin transfer story also arrived during a period of operational changes at Gemini. Reports claimed that Gemini planned to cut up to 200 jobs, or about a quarter of its workforce. This occurs despite the twins having long been associated with early Bitcoin accumulation.

Gemini is planning to wind down operations in the UK, the European Union, and Australia. The company said it would focus its operations in the United States and Singapore.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Will BTC Rally to $120K Soon?

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price is recovering after stabilizing around $68,000, suggesting early signs of momentum. BTC price has bounced from the recent selloff zone near $63,000, reclaimed the 30-day moving average around $67,900, and the RSI has recovered to roughly 52, which points to improving short-term strength rather than a fully confirmed breakout.

If easing Iran-related tensions continue to reduce pressure on oil and broader risk markets, Bitcoin could extend higher toward $75,000 first, with the chart’s next major resistance sitting near the $80,000 zone.

The bigger bullish case only strengthens if Bitcoin can hold above $70,000 and build enough spot demand to challenge the $100,000 resistance zone shown on the chart. A successful break there would open the door to a move toward $110,000 and potentially a retest of the $126,080 all-time high.

On the negative side, $65,000 is the most significant near-term BTC support level. A BTC price below $60,000 would increase the chance of further decline to the lower bear-case zone of $55,000.
