Almost 19K bitcoins (BTC-USD) worth ~$703M flowed out of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) through a series of four transactions within the past day, Benzinga reported Thursday, citing data from blockchain wallet tracker Whale Alert. The movement occurred through four transactions, with the largest one involving 8K bitcoin (BTC-USD), worth ~$300M. All four of those transactions transferred the crypto to the same cold wallet, which now owns 19,244 bitcoin (BTC-USD) worth ~ $765M.

In Thursday morning trading, bitcoin (BTC-USD) is up 1.4% to $39.6K and ether (ETH-USD) +2.1% to $2.93K. Previously (May 4), Coinbase (COIN)
