The name of the Bitcoin developer may become known to the general public

Researcher Conor Grogan of Coinbase has published an investigation into the possible identity of Сатоші Накамото" href="https://noworries.news/biography/satoshi-nakamoto/" data-bio-id="4232">Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin BTC $96,639.61 Bitcoin -1.01% Market capitalization $1.92 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.01 billion . He investigated a new cluster of addresses that, according to Arkham Intelligence, may be linked to Nakamoto.

Grogan found a documented case of Nakamoto’s financial interaction with the Canadian exchange CaVirtEx, which was acquired by the Kraken platform in 2016. If the exchange has retained KYC data on the relevant transactions, it may have information about the real identity of the creator of the flagship crypto asset.

According to Arkham Intelligence, the new list of addresses includes 22,000 accounts with a total balance of more than 1.09 million BTC, which is equivalent to approximately $ 108 billion. This makes Nakamoto richer than Bill Gates, at least nominally. Grogan pointed out that among all the shipments from the new group of wallets, the most frequent recipient was 1PYYj, which also received funds from the CaVirtEx exchange. It is linked to another wallet that holds about $ 3 billion in BTC.

Grogan believes that this data supports the theory that Len Sassaman, a well-known cryptographer and digital privacy advocate, could be behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. His research is one of the most significant breakthroughs in attempts to identify the creator of bitcoin in recent years. Meanwhile, Kraken, commenting on the investigation, responded with the phrase «We're all Satoshis,» avoiding direct confirmation or denial.
