Cryptocurrency transactions are usually made much quicker than via a traditional bank and reach the destination wallet in less than an hour unless there are technical difficulties with validation. Besides, they fees charged for them are usually tiny unlike with banks.
Transferring 1.5 billion dollars via a bank would take several days and the fee for it would be tremendous.

Elon Musk’s Grok confirms Bitcoin ATH, ChatGPT does not
Earlier this week, tech mogul and billionaire Elon Musk took to Twitter/X to quote a tweet which stated that the recent Bitcoin all-time high had caused a totally opposite reaction of xAI’s Grok AI chatbot and of ChatGPT.
If the former confirmed that this historic price peak of $69,200 was reached, OpenAI’s ChatGPT denied the news. Musk created xAI to oppose OpenAI and its headline product ChatGPT which he believes to be woke since it refuses to discuss certain sensitive topics with users. Last week, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman for violating the company’s initial chart of being a non-profit company. OpenAI has struck back at Musk by submitting early correspondence with him to court.
