The Lazarus Group controlled by North Korea has transferred 244 BTC, worth approximately $19.42 million, marking the end of the wallets’ dormancy period. According to Arkham Intelligence, this hacking group still controls a consolidated portfolio of approximately $40 million, including 267.526 BTC valued at $20.97 million at Bitcoin’s current price. In addition to Bitcoin, the wallet contains 9.29 million USDT, 1,737 ETH ($4.3 million) and 5,024 BNB ($3.5 million). This $19.42 million transaction remains insignificant compared to Bitcoin’s daily trading volume and should not directly impact the price. Analysts emphasize that the key issue is not the size of the transfer, but the group’s exit from « sleep mode, » with an operational pattern involving splitting, mixing and cash-out.
