Transaction details

A new wallet withdrew 27,159 ETH from Kraken; three wallets withdrew 78,824 ETH in total, equivalent to about $302 million.

Data monitored by Onchain Lens shows that these transactions occurred close in time and were large in size, suggesting that they were likely institutional wallets or internal transfers. These withdrawals were made from Custodial wallets on Kraken to newly created wallets.

Who could be behind these wallets?

It is likely that the wallets belong to BitMine, as described from on-chain analysis.

Associating an address with an organization is often based on transaction patterns, withdrawal history, and contact with Custodial platforms. However, barring official confirmation from BitMine or Kraken, conclusions remain speculative.

Implications for Kraken and the Market

Withdrawing tens of thousands of ETH from Kraken could impact Custodial liquidation , but the impact on price depends on whether these ETH are sold to the market or not.

If ETH is transferred to Cold Storage or between wallets belonging to the same entity, the Price Impact may be limited. If a large portion is sold on the spot market, supply pressure may increase and affect short-term liquidation .

Does this transaction cause ETH price to fluctuate immediately?

Has Kraken or BitMine confirmed the information?

There is no official confirmation from Kraken or BitMine yet; the information is based on on-chain monitoring data.

How to identify wallet belongs to an organization?

Determined based on transaction patterns, fund origin, comparison with exchange data and public information; but official confirmation is needed to confirm.
