FalconX Deposits 120 BTC into Coinbase, Stoking Selling Speculation

FalconX, a major cryptocurrency trading and custody firm, has deposited 120 Bitcoin ($BTC) worth approximately $7.82 million into Coinbase, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges.

The transaction occurred just 24 minutes before it was reported by blockchain tracking platform Onchain Lens, according to the firm's monitoring data.

The deposit is noteworthy due to FalconX's role as a prime broker handling large institutional orders. However, such transfers can also be part of routine treasury management, over-the-counter (OTC) trading operations, or liquidity provisioning.

The timing of the deposit comes at a period when Bitcoin has been trading within a tight range, making even medium-sized transactions more noticeable.
