According to on-chain <a href="https://t.co/m9TDE5s8dO" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a>, a Bitcoin address that had been <a href="https://u.today/dormant-bitcoin-whale-awakens-after-10-years-as-btc-briefly-touched-69000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dormant</a> for 11.6 years has been reactivated.

The reactivation of such an old address has sparked curiosity and speculation within the cryptocurrency community. The activation of dormant wallets often garners significant attention due to their association with early adopters or long-term holders.
The owner's identity remains unknown, and so are their reasons for reactivating the address. It could be an early adopter who has decided to cash in on their investment; on the other hand, it might be part of a market strategy or even a security measure.
