A wallet dormant for 45 days just moved $100M USDC to an unlabelled counterparty
A three-year-old wallet broke a 45-day silence with a single $100M USDC transfer to a wallet with no exchange label, making it the largest on-chain move in six hours.
The wallet at 0x15ab…de48 has been on-chain for roughly three years and historically transacts with a tight circle of just seven peers, including Coinbase. Its recent outgoing activity reached exchange wallets in three hops, but that routing evidence is not tied to this trigger.
The $100M transfer landed in an unlabelled wallet, and the funds were immediately split across many addresses. Meanwhile, the broader USDC flow over the last 24 hours tilts heavily toward exchanges, with $728.83M in versus $420.52M out, consistent with dry powder arriving rather than distribution.
The immediate split into multiple wallets suggests an operational or custodial reshuffle, but the lack of a direct exchange label on the receiver means the market impact, if any, depends entirely on where those fragments travel next.
