I just read that the bidders will be paying 30% more than the usual market price. Seems a pretty steepp cost they will have to pay for those coins.
Thats almost 100$ more than the current market price.
that would have increase the price a bit, if they were selling it on exchange, but as a private transaction, it won't affect it
i'm curious to know who bought those chunks
If it is private auction, or if buyer wants to stay anon, we will never know.
