Litecoin News: $62 Million Worth of Litecoins (LTC) Moved for a fees of just 50 Cents

About 20 days ago, the Litecoin network processed one of its largest transactions ever. 1,159,005.9 Litecoins (LTC) valued at around $62 Million was moved for a fee of 0.0092 LTC worth $0.5.

This transaction was included in Block 1512468 carried out on 20th October. The transaction appears to be a consolidation of funds into a multi-sig wallet. This transaction makes the address the richest wallet on the Litecoin network and the previous richest wallet remains empty.

The funds were moved from a legacy address to a multi-sig address probably to a cold wallet which provides more security. The address would need multiple signatures of private keys to unlock the funds.

It is hard to know to whom the address belongs to, although a fair guess would be that it belongs to an exchange. The address contains multiple transactions worth 20,000 LTC made up of four 5000 LTC transactions originating from an address containing a balance of 150,419 at the time of writing.
