The first transaction contained $5,184,650 worth of BTC and the second was $28,596 worth. The two transfers were within an hour of each other. In 2016 a Bitfinex security loophole resulted in 120,000 Bitcoin being stolen from the exchange and is one of the largest hacks of all time.

The two transactions come a day after 9 separate transactions shuffled around $27 million worth of Bitcoin from wallets associated with the hack on Monday, July 27 were also reported by Whale Alert.
