Lookonchain, a prominent crypto analyst, recently reported a significant Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) deposit by a whale into the Kraken exchange.

The move is notable due to the size of the transaction and the whale's previous accumulation.

What Happened: According to a tweet by Lookonchain on Thursday, a whale deposited 1,200 Bitcoin, equivalent to $77.67 million, into the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. The transaction occurred just 43 minutes prior to the tweet.
