Block Explorer Annotations Further Suggest 1P5ZED Belongs to an Exchange


Dina blok explorer oxt.abdi, the address 1P5ZED has notes associated with it, which explain that the address could be tied to an exchange. The first annotation on oxt.me about 1P5ZED says it was submitted by a person named “TEJAS” on November 22, 2020. The individual writes it “could be Bittrex” and also leaves a link in the annotation as well. The article linked references a 717 BTC transfer anu disangka dilaksanakeun antara Bittrex sareng 1P5ZED.



The second annotation on the block explorer oxt.me was added by “ERGOBTC” on July 14, 2020. The note says the “address source suggests Gemini or Coinbase.” This led our investigation down to parsing 1P5ZED’s transactions during the last two months. Blockchain parsing data shows that 1P5ZED transacts quite a bit with the BTC wallet address known as “1FzWLk.” Nalika 1FzWLk seueur transaksi sareng 1P5ZED, 1FzWLk ogé ditandaan ku catetan on oxt.me about the address being associated with an exchange.



The 1FzWLk annotation was also submitted by ERGOBTC, on the same day the second annotation was applied to 1P5ZED. “[1FzWLk] annotated as Okex by Whale Alerts. Though source and cluster spending suggest closer ties to Coinbase and Gemini,” annotation details. While it’s not certain 1P5ZED (which acts like an exchange cold wallet) and 1FzWLk (which acts more like a hot wallet) belong to a trading platform, there’s a lot more supporting evidence that shows 1P5ZED is likely owned by an exchange.
