Did the whale transfer his coins to a Segwit address? Plus he also moved his Rogercoins and Craigcoins to new addresses.

This happens quite often, just you do not always pay attention to it. It doesn't matter

What is the significance of tracking such huge transaction ?
It just goes to show that the crypto industry is a highly speculative one. The only reason traders do that which is quoted is so as to monitor what the big hodlers/whales are doing in order to garner trading decisions. Fundamentals/news are the major driving force in cryptocurrency and shouldn't be overlooked.

I know that, that monitoring every transaction made by a big trader is included in fundamental analysis, but we don't always consider it to be a threat or a big impact. When whale send a very big bitcoin to another wallet, it does not mean they will sell it, sometimes they share it on several wallets. What needs to be monitored is each transaction at exchange wallet address because it has potential to be sell.

The uncertainty of the identity of the person behind this transaction, is exactly what we wanted from Bitcoin.  Wink  The fact that this ghost whale has not been identified, shows that pseudo anonymity is working and that is very good for everyone.  Wink

I still think this has something to do with Bakkt, but only time will tell if this was a Bakkt transfer of coins.  Grin  Why is this timed with the opening of the Bakkt warehouse? It would be interesting to see, what happens when people starts using this platform and what their response would be. 
The Bakkt thingy was one speculation floated around that time. We all know that they are expected to accept withdrawals/deposit around that time so most likely it could be them.

But this was days ago, nothing significant happen after the move, bitcoin remains above $10k and all speculation above who's the entity behind fall into deaf ear.

I see it as normal transaction considering the blockchain which helps them move such huge amount of money without hassle.

nick szabo thought it was worth noting. the value of the transaction was so large that it created significant incentives for an attacker to perform a reorg. this is not something you see everyday.

Such confidence in Bitcoin is splendid, but a 94,500 BTC tx tempts fate. If recipient can make that much from reversing the tx, they can afford to run a 51% attack for more than 40 days. Big if & very visible, but security here depends more on trust & less on the protocol itself.

this is already an old news from many days ago and there are multiple topics discussing this with no purpose. and that address has a higher chance of belonging to a big service instead of a big whale, specially since whales don't keep all their coins in one address, they spread them around for this very reason (so people don't see what they do that easily!).

Seems like Satoshi's first principle is proven here one more time. No limits on transaction and no extra identification for the same.

Even we should not take this transaction very seriously when it comes to the trading, holding and stuff like that. I mean most of us might get afraid that there might be huge sell off and thus dropping the prices heavily.

But this could be just normal transaction where they are moving the coins to another location for safety reasons. Moreover it would be hard to sell such huge amount in exchange with fiat currency.

It's good though, we gotta see such whale exists around us. (Might be an exchanger also).

Is a big amount who can crash easily the markets, that's why people and investors get in panic after seeing that enormous transaction.

The bitcoins haven't been sold, but if the owner decides to do it I think we will see a price crash down to $7k. So, let's keep an eye on the addy who holds those coins.

A massive 94,505 bitcoin transaction made crypto headlines as investors and investigators speculated from whence the BTC came.

The wallet, first accessed late on September 5, 2019, has been involved in only seven transactions including the massive whale move. Other moves include a $6,644 deposit early on September 6 and a deposit of $6.66 a few hours later.
