1,704 BTC worth $132.5M moves from unknown wallet to Kraken

A previously unidentified wallet sent 1,704 BTC — roughly $132.5 million at transfer time — to Kraken, according to on-chain data. The destination being a major exchange immediately raises the question of intent: large deposits to spot exchanges are historically associated with preparation to sell, though OTC desks and custody migrations are also plausible explanations.

At this size, the move is large enough to matter for near-term order book depth if it hits the open market. The wallet's prior history is unknown, which makes it harder to assign motive — first-time movers to exchanges carry more ambiguity than wallets with established patterns.
