October 24, 2025, Beijing Time — The crypto market today welcomes multiple significant developments: a Bitcoin wallet from the "Satoshi era," which had been dormant for over 14 years, suddenly awakened and transferred out over $16 million worth of BTC, sparking widespread attention on the movements of early whales. Meanwhile, the DeFi ecosystem on the Solana network continues to heat up, with the amount of locked SOL reaching a new high since June 2022, indicating a strong recovery momentum for Layer 1 public chains. Below are today's key developments to help investors grasp market trends.

1. Satoshi Era Wallet Awakens: 150 BTC Transferred After 14 Years of Dormancy, Worth $16.56 Million

According to on-chain data monitoring agencies Onchain Lens and Whale Alert, a Bitcoin wallet that had been silent since the Satoshi era in 2011 has come back to life today. The wallet originally held 4,000 BTC (currently valued at approximately $44.04 million), equivalent to a "sealed fortune" worth only $67,700 back in 2011. Today, after the address was activated, it quickly transferred out 150 BTC (about $16.56 million) to a new address, with the remaining funds still securely stored.

On-chain tracking shows that this whale entity had previously been selling BTC for a long time through another associated address, having received 4,050 BTC (including the current 4,000 plus an additional 50) from this active wallet, suggesting it may belong to the same early holder or institution. Market analysts believe that the awakening of such "ancient whales" often signals potential selling pressure, but it may also reflect the holder's confidence test in the current bull market. Bitcoin's price briefly fluctuated after the news broke and is currently stabilizing around $11,000 per coin. Investors should be cautious of short-term selling risks triggered by similar events.

2. Solana DeFi Locks Up 62.3 Million SOL: A Two-Year High, Clear Signs of Ecosystem Recovery

SolanaFloor posted on the X platform that the total amount of SOL locked in Solana network DeFi protocols has surged to 62.3 million, setting a new record since June 2022. This data reflects the strong growth momentum of the Solana ecosystem, especially driven by the meme coin craze and DeFi innovations, with user confidence significantly rebounding.

Currently, Solana's TVL (Total Value Locked) is nearing $5 billion, an increase of over 20% from last month. Popular protocols like Jupiter and Raydium have contributed significantly to the locked amounts, indicating a surge in liquidity mining and leveraged trading demand. Analysts believe this round of locking peak may be related to the recent incentive programs from the Solana Foundation, which is expected to further solidify its position as an "Ethereum killer." However, attention should be paid to network congestion risks, as Solana has recently optimized its TPS to thousands of transactions per second. The price of SOL rose slightly by 1.5% today, reported at around $180.

Market Impact and Outlook

Today's developments highlight the dual themes of "old money awakening" and "new ecosystem explosion" in the crypto market. The activation of the Satoshi era wallet, although limited in scale, symbolizes the potential monetization pressure from early holders, which may exacerbate short-term volatility in Bitcoin; in contrast, the new high in Solana's DeFi locks injects optimism into Layer 1 public chains, suggesting that the bull market of 2025 may continue into the DeFi and meme sectors.

Investor Advice: Closely monitor the on-chain whale addresses (such as the subsequent movements of this active wallet) and pay attention to changes in Solana's ecosystem TVL. Overall market sentiment is neutral to bullish, with Bitcoin's dominance stable at over 55%. Tomorrow's focus: The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision may further impact the pricing of risk assets.
