Early Bitcoin Whale Owen Gunden Transfers 364 BTC Worth $40.25 Million to Kraken

2025/10/22 14:04

On‑chain analytics firm Lookonchain reported that early Bitcoin whale Owen Gunden deposited 364 BTC (valued at approximately $40.25 million) to crypto exchange Kraken about seven hours ago.

Blockchain data shows the wallet associated with Gunden still holds roughly 10,959 BTC, equivalent to around $1.19 billion USD at current market prices. The large movement has drawn attention from market participants monitoring potential selling pressure amid renewed volatility in the Bitcoin market.

Analysts note that transactions from early‑era holders often attract scrutiny because they may signal profit‑taking or portfolio rebalancing after years of dormancy. However, it remains unclear whether the deposit represents an immediate sale or a custody transfer.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $110,500 per BTC, up roughly 2% in 24 hours. Whale activity on major exchanges such as Kraken, Coinbase, and Binance continues to be closely watched for clues about near‑term market sentiment and liquidity trends.

NGP Token Crashes 88% After $2M Oracle Hack

The post NGP Token Crashes 88% After $2M Oracle Hack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes The attacker stole ~$2 million worth of ETH from the New Gold Protocol on Sept.18. The exploit involved a flash loan that successfully manipulated the price oracle enabling the attacker to bypass security checks in the smart contract. The NGP token is down 88% as the attacker obfuscates their funds through Tornado Cash. New Gold Protocol, a DeFi staking project, lost around 443.8 Ethereum ETH $4 599 24h volatility: 2.2% Market cap: $555.19 B Vol. 24h: $42.83 B , valued at $2 million, in an exploit on Sept 18. The attack caused the project’s native NGP token to crash by 88%, wiping out most of its market value in less than an hour. The incident was flagged by multiple blockchain security firms, including PeckShield and Blockaid. Both firms confirmed the amount stolen and tracked the movement of the funds. Blockaid’s analysis identified the specific vulnerability that the attacker used. 🚨 Community Alert: Blockaid’s exploit detection system identified multiple malicious transactions targeting the NGP token on BSC.

The protocol’s smart contract had a critical flaw; it determined the NGP token’s price by looking at the asset reserves in a single Uniswap liquidity pool. This method is insecure because a single pool’s price can be easily manipulated. The attacker used a flash loan to borrow a large amount of assets. A flash loan consists of a series of transactions that borrow and return a loan within the same transaction. They used these assets to temporarily skew the reserves in the liquidity pool, tricking the protocol into thinking the…
