Proofs surrounding the extreme efficiency offered by digital assets are showcased on a regular basis. A 161,500BTC transfer, valued at over $1.1 billion at the time of the transaction was made for a fee never seen in the banking industry worth only 0.00010019 BTC or $0.72 only.
The transaction was claimed almost immediately by Bitfinex, explaining that they had used 15,000BTC from the amount to refill their hot wallets.
Yep, we refilled hot wallet with 15k, rest went back to original address

The fiat value of the transfer exceeded that of the previous record of $1.018 billion which incurred a very large fee of $700 at the time and hence set a new record.
Comparison with Fintech solution
While the latter shows an unfortunate overcharge, due to stress on the network, lets compare these charges to currently adopted solutions. After taking into consideration multiple possibilities, TransferWise came out to be one of the cheapest options for transfers. Their fees range between 0.5% and 2% which they claim is 9x cheaper on average than high street banks.
By favouring, TransferWise and taking the lower end of the spectrum at 0.5% only, that same Bitcoin record transaction would have cost a staggering $5,500,000! That is while ignoring the fact that their maximum transfer amount is only $1 million.
Digital Asset efficiency
Bitcoin, considered to be an expensive choice for cryptocurrency transfers when compared to its peers such as XRP, charged the client a $700 for $1 billion that was considered extravagant by this industry’s standards.
Additionally, there can be no errors on the blockchain unless made by the client himself with a wrong recipient address for example. This industry is setting a new standard and it isn’t going away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
