  • Babylon BTC staking protocol saw the unstaking of a massive 14,929 BTC. 
  • This follows April 4’s unstaking where 256 BTC were unstaked in one day.
  • BTC saw a temporary pullback after the unstaking, retesting the 20-day EMA.

The crypto market saw a huge Bitcoin move Wednesday when around 14,929 BTC, worth approximately $1.26 billion, was unstaked from Babylon, a popular decentralized Bitcoin staking protocol. 

On-chain data platform Lookonchain noted the event occurred around 10:30 AM UTC. The unstaked Bitcoin (BTC) was split across multiple addresses – a pattern often hinting at strategic moves by a large entity, possibly an institution.

The unstaking comes on the heels of Babylon’s recent $600 million airdrop of its native token, BABY, to early users. Smaller BTC unstaking amounts were already observed following that airdrop.
