ChainCatcher News: NBA retired star Scottie Pippen posted a Bitcoin futures chart, comparing the 2020 bull market start with the current pattern, implying a similar surge is imminent. Pippen has previously made several crypto-friendly comments and stated that he personally met Satoshi Nakamoto in 1993.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Arkham data, at 13:18, 649.45 BTC (worth approximately $43.97 million) was transferred from an anonymous address (starting with 1GFsAPFa...) to multiple addresses, including Satoshi Nakamoto's address (starting with 1A1zP1eP...).

A special on-chain transfer has sparked heated discussion in the crypto community. An unidentified Bitcoin user sent approximately 2.56 BTC to the Bitcoin Genesis address, which was worth nearly $180,000 at the time. This address is directly linked to the first block created in 2009 and is widely regarded as the symbolic "starting wallet" left by Satoshi Nakamoto. On-chain blockchain data shows that this fund was only received in a one-way flow, with no records of any outgoing transactions. Since the private key associated with the Genesis address has never been used, it is generally believed to have been lost or permanently invalidated. Therefore, any Bitcoin sent to this address can no longer circulate, effectively "locked" on the chain. After this transfer, the total balance of the address has exceeded 57 BTC, worth several million dollars.

PANews February 9 News, according to Cointelegraph monitoring, last weekend, an anonymous individual transferred 2.565 Bitcoins (approximately $181,000) to Satoshi Nakamoto's genesis address.

This article summarizes cryptocurrency news as of February 6, 2026, including the latest updates on Bitcoin, Ethereum upgrades, Dogecoin trends, real-time cryptocurrency prices, and price forecasts. Major Web3 events today include: 1. Bitwise CEO: The recent sharp decline in the crypto market is mainly due to macroeconomic factors, with investors selling off all liquid assets; 2. Bloomberg analyst warns that the "Trump Effect" is backfiring on the crypto market, with Bitcoin falling below $60,000 and possibly not having found its bottom; 3. Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings have shrunk by $60 billion, previously valued at over $130 billion.

On February 6th, news reports indicate that as Bitcoin prices have retreated from their high levels at the end of 2025, the massive Bitcoin holdings of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, have also significantly decreased in value. Based on current market prices, the approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins attributed to Satoshi are worth about $71 billion, whereas during the peak a few months ago, this figure exceeded $130 billion, with a loss of over $60 billion. This change is not due to selling activity. On-chain data shows that wallets associated with Satoshi have been in long-term dormancy since around 2010, with no large-scale transfers ever occurring. These addresses are considered "effectively locked," accounting for about 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, and are the largest known single holdings in the market. Because of this, they are viewed as "sleeping Bitcoins" that will not enter circulation, having a long-term impact on market structure.

January 21 News, as the market gradually unfolds in the first quarter of 2026, XRP price forecasts have once again become a focal point of market discussion. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.91, down slightly by 1.81% intraday, with a weekly decline of about 10.6%, but it still maintains a positive return of approximately 4% since the beginning of the year. This trend indicates that XRP is in a typical consolidation zone, with ongoing battles between bulls and bears, and investors are more focused on the potential highs over the next four months. Analyst CORE Satoshi from X platform provided a relatively clear range, believing that XRP is expected to trade between $2 and $4 in the coming months. If the price truly reaches $4, it would double from the current level and also set a new all-time high. He describes this outlook as a "steady upward trend," rather than an extreme explosive rally, assuming macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment in the crypto space gradually improve.

On January 21, news reports indicate that amid global macro shocks and market sell-offs, Bitcoin's price has fallen back to approximately $89,490, a 24-hour decline of over 3%. This volatility is closely related to Trump’s threat to impose a new round of tariffs on several European countries, which has rapidly increased risk aversion sentiment, causing short-term capital flows into traditional assets like gold. However, on-chain data shows that the confidence of long-term Bitcoin holders remains unshaken, with the most symbolic being Satoshi Nakamoto’s holdings. Tracking data from Arkham Intelligence shows that since mining the first blocks in 2009, Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto has not moved any of his holdings for 17 consecutive years. As Bitcoin evolved from zero value to nearly $90,000 today, the approximately 1,096,358 BTC held by Satoshi is now worth nearly $100 billion, accounting for about 5.5% of the total supply. This long-term, immovable large holding is regarded by the market as the ultimate endorsement of Bitcoin’s long-term value.

On January 20, news broke that a Bitcoin wallet associated with the Satoshi Nakamoto era, which had been dormant for 13 years, suddenly reactivated, drawing significant attention from the crypto market. On-chain data shows that this address transferred all 909.38 Bitcoins at once, which, at current prices, is worth approximately $85 million, and was sent to a new Bitcoin address. Blockchain analysis platform Arkham Intelligence pointed out that this wallet first received Bitcoin in 2013, when the price of a single Bitcoin was less than $7. Based on this, the investment has a paper return of over 13,900 times, making it another classic example of long-term Bitcoin holding. If approximately $6,400 had been invested in traditional assets that year, such as a low-cost S&P 500 index fund, it would now be worth only about $37,000; during the same period, gold increased by about 150%, forming a stark contrast to Bitcoin's long-term performance.

On January 17, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin client v0.1 Alpha, allowing users to run nodes and including an IRC chat client and a virtual poker game framework, which was later removed in subsequent versions.
