What adds to the intrigue is the elusive nature of the wallets involved. All addresses participating in this enigmatic transfer, encompassing over half a billion Dogecoins, are fresh on the scene, devoid of any prior transaction history.

Dogecoin miners hit pause

This sudden disappearance coincides with a curious trend emerging among Dogecoin miners. Recent data from IntoTheBlock reveals a notable decrease in sell-offs by miners, with net outflows plummeting from 19.44 million to 7.27 million DOGE in the past 24 hours. 

While outflows persist, the diminishing magnitude hints at a potential shift in miner behavior.

Currently, Dogecoin miners collectively hold reserves estimated at 4.16 billion DOGE, valued at $354.86 million. Amid these developments, the community remains abuzz with speculation and intrigue, as the whereabouts of the 400 million DOGE continue to elude scrutiny.
