This weekend, with bitcoin trading 4.2% higher than last week, a quartet of long-forgotten wallets from June and July 2012 sprang to life, shifting 400 BTC valued at $47.45 million — their first move in more than 13 years.

Vintage Bitcoin Revival: 400 Coins From 2012 Reemerge

Although August hasn’t yet matched July’s streak of activity, a steady stream of dormant wallets has been stirring. Just three days ago, Bitcoin.com News reported on the movement of 3,000 BTC from 30 separate 2015 wallets — each sending coins for the first time since their creation. This weekend, btcparser.com data shows that, between blocks 909302 and 909427, four Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) wallets from 2012 released 400 BTC back into circulation.

From $2,265 to $47 Million: 2012 Bitcoin Stash Jumps Back Into Action

Each wallet moved exactly 100 BTC to its own unique Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash (P2WPKH) address, where the coins remain as of press time. In simple terms, P2PKH wallets 1, 2, 3, and 4 handed their bitcoin over to newer P2WPKH addresses 1, 2, 3, and 4. The bitcoin cash ( BCH) tied to the BTC moved this weekend still sits untouched, valued at over $229,000 in the original wallets 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Three of the wallets were created on June 5, 2012, while the fourth appeared on July 2, 2012. Back then, the 300 BTC from June 5 was worth about $1,602, and the 100 BTC from July 2 was valued at roughly $663 — putting the original stash at just $2,265 for the whole lot. If sold today, the 400 coins would deliver the owner an eye-watering 20,949,877% gain.

Wallets from 2010 through 2012 are a rare sight in motion, but with prices at all-time highs, a steady flow of long-dormant BTC has been migrating into fresh addresses and active circulation. As noted in previous sleeping bitcoin reports, many of these awakenings appear to be simple transfers into newer address formats or for consolidation, rather than outright sales.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
