Investors holding between 100 BTC and 1,000 BTC currently control a fifth of the asset's circulating supply.
Blockchain analytics firm Santiment has revealed that whale transaction volumes have dropped sharply across top cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The decline in large transactions, especially those in excess of $100,000, could be attributed to a shift in the behavior of some of the largest owners of these assets, and the potential consequences for the […]
Bitcoin addresses with balances between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC hold the largest share, 24.17%, of the total BTC supply.
On-chain data shows Bitcoin, XRP, and other top cryptocurrencies have been witnessing notably lesser activity from the whales recently as compared to earlier in the year. Bitcoin, XRP Among Assets Observing A Decline In Whale Transactions In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has discussed about how the latest trend in [...]

The latest on-chain data shows that a particular class of Bitcoin investors has been selling for profit in the wake of the recent price rally. The question here is how much did they sell and how much impact could it have on the Bitcoin price trajectory? Bitcoin Whales Dump 30,000 BTC In Four Days Impact On Price? In a new post on the X platform, prominent crypto pundit Ali Martinez revealed that Bitcoin whales have been increasingly active in the market in the days following BTC’s return to above $63,000. This on-chain observation is based on the drop in the total holdings of whales with balances between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC. Related Reading: Crypto Whales Buy $228 Million In XRP Following $5 Price Prediction According to data from Santiment, this cohort of Bitcoin whales has offloaded more than 30,000 BTC (worth around $1.86 billion) in the past 96 hours. Interestingly, this level of whale activity came after the premier cryptocurrency witnessed a price upswing triggered by the interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve. Whales which typically refer to individuals or entities holding significant amounts of a particular cryptocurrency are perceived to hold considerable influence over the market due to the size of their holdings. Hence, their buying or selling activities can precipitate abrupt price swings in the short term. The Bitcoin market has been under a considerable amount of bearish pressure so far in September, falling to as low as $53,000 at some point. The Fed rate cut seemed like the perfect catalyst to turn things around and spark a fresh bullish momentum. However, profit-taking observed amongst the large investors could stall this recovery. When whales sell off their assets, it often causes other investors to tread the market with caution, as they wonder what the large holders know. This can lead to heightened selling pressure or a momentary price pullback. BTC Price At A Glance Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that the Bitcoin price has made significant movement in the past few days. As of this writing, the flagship cryptocurrency is valued at $63,131, reflecting a mere 0.1% decline in the past day. According to data from CoinGecko, the value of BTC has increased by more than 5% in the past week. The market leader seems to be performing even better on broader timeframes.

The last instance of weekly negative flow among these whales occurred in May.
Bitcoin has hit the $60,000 price mark, recovering a price level last seen since August 29. Based on data from CoinMarketCap, The crypto market leader moved by 3.98% on Friday, capping off a rather impressive weekly performance. Commenting on this price gain, prominent blockchain analytics company Santiment has provided insight into shifting market dynamics that may result in a sustained price rally for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The on-chain analytics team reported consistent levels of massive accumulation from BTC whales and sharks. When large-scale investors such as these consistently purchase a massive amount of an asset, especially during downturns or turbulent periods, it indicates confidence in the assets long-term profitability. Bitcoin is within inches of regaining the coveted $60K market value for the first time since falling below back on August 29th. The dynamic duo of mid-term accumulation from sharks & whales, and falling levels of BTC on exchanges, sets the stage for crypto to roll again. pic.twitter.com/LHyxaK4Rci Santiment (@santimentfeed) September 13, 2024 According to Santiment, Bitcoin sharks and whales i.e. wallets holding 10 BTC and above, have acquired 28,500 BTC in the last three months bringing their total holdings to 16.18 million BTC, valued at $978.29 billion. Aside from this encouraging accumulation trend, Santiment has also noted a decline in Bitcoin supply on exchanges. For context, an increase in exchange balances of an asset indicates investors are cautious and selling or preparing to sell their holdings. The opposite of such a scenario means that investors are moving their holdings to self-custodial wallets, likely in anticipation of a price rise. Based on Santiments report, approximately 75,000 BTC, valued at approximately $4.54 billion, has been withdrawn from exchanges in the last three months, bringing the current total exchange Bitcoin balance to $1.86 million BTC. Santiment concludes that the combination of these two factors i.e. constant accumulation by big investors and a decrease in exchanges BTC supply indicate that Bitcoin and the crypto market at large are gathering momentum for a massive price rally.

This bullish divergence largely indicates that selling pressure is weakening and altcoins are about to rally against the crypto market leader. Such notions align with van de Poppes long predictions of altcoins superseding Bitcoin in market dominance and performance in the coming months. At the time of writing, Bitcoin continues to trade at $60,369 with a market gain of 4.25% on the last day. Meanwhile, the total crypto market cap is valued at $2.1 trillion following a 2.55% gain in the last day. Featured image from Reuters, chart from Tradingview
Over the past few days, Bitcoin (BTC) has seen a significant surge in whale accumulation. Ali highlighted that the “number of BTC addresses holding 100+ BTC increased from 15,913 to 16,006 during the recent correction. While this trend is noteworthy because it suggests whales bought the dip, Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, an on-chain [...]

CryptoQuant data shows whales have accumulated $23 billion in BTC over the past month despite the ongoing market downturn.
In today's news recap, the Bitcoin whales are doing what small investors are not during the recent price crash.
Bitcoins present market dynamics show its largest holders have made a bold move. According to Santiments data, Bitcoin whales are now taking more interest in the network. Just in the past month, the net addition of 283 wallets, each with at least 100 BTC, has been recorded. This brings the total to a record 16,120 […]
As market uncertainty drives out traders, Bitcoin whales have added 94.7K BTC to their wallets over the last six weeks.
On-chain data shows the Bitcoin whale entities have sold approximately $588 million in the cryptocurrency during the past week. Bitcoin Whales Have Made Large Selling Moves Recently As pointed out by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, the BTC whales have sold around 10,000 BTC over the last seven days. The indicator of relevance here is the “Supply Distribution” from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, which tells us about the total amount of Bitcoin that a given wallet group currently holds. Related Reading: Only 66% Of Ethereum Holders In Profit Despite 21% Price Jump The addresses or investors are divided into these cohorts based on the number of tokens that they are carrying in their balance right now. A holder with 5 BTC, for instance, is put inside the 1 to 10 coins group. In the context of the current topic, the whale cohort is of interest, which typically includes the addresses holding between 1,000 and 10,000 coins. At the current exchange rate, this range converts to $58.8 million at the lower end and $588 million at the upper one. Clearly, the investors belonging to the group would be among the largest in the market, so the cohort can be considered to have some influence. As such, the behavior of the whales can be worth keeping an eye on. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Supply Distribution for this Bitcoin group over the past few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin supply held by the whales has observed a significant decline recently. More specifically, the investors belonging to the cohort have removed a combined 10,000 BTC from their wallets during this selloff, worth about $588 million right now. From the chart, it’s visible that the sharpest selling came during the crash that BTC saw earlier, but these whales have also offloaded significant amounts in the recovery rally that has occurred over the last few days. So far, the Supply Distribution of the cohort has shown no signs of a reversal, so it’s possible that the whales are still in net selling mode. Naturally, this could slow down the asset’s recovery efforts. Nothing is set in stone, though, so the indicator could be used to monitor the coming days to see which direction these humongous investors really take. A net accumulation spree would suggest a renewal of confidence among the large hands and could pave the way for a further rise in the Bitcoin price.

On-chain data shows that the Bitcoin short-term holder whales have a cost base above $64,000, which could be a potential resistance point for BTC. Bitcoin Is Not Far From Realized Price Of Short-Term Holder Whales After Rally As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, the BTC price had slipped below the Realized Price of the short-term holder whales earlier. The “Realized Price” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the average cost basis that the investors of a particular group currently share. Related Reading: Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross Gives Bottom Signal: What Happened Last 2 Times When the asset’s spot price is under this metric, the holders belonging to the cohort are in a state of net unrealized loss. Similarly, it being above the indicator implies the group is enjoying profits. In the context of the current topic, there are two market segments of interest: the short-term holder and long-term holder whales. The short-term and long-term holders are the two main divisions of the Bitcoin sector based on holding time. The short-term holders (STHs) are the investors who bought their coins within the past 155 days, while the long-term holders (LTHs) include the hands who have kept their coins dormant for longer than this period. The “whales” generally refer to the entities that carry at least 1,000 BTC in their wallets, so the STH and LTH whales would naturally correspond to the large members of the respective cohorts. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Realized Price for these two Bitcoin groups over the past few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin spot price had slipped considerably below the Realized Price of the STH whales during the recent market downturn. However, with the price observing recovery, it has now neared back to that level. The average cost basis of the STH whales is between $64,000 and $65,000, so a retest of it could be coming soon. However, Such a retest could prove difficult for the cryptocurrency. The STHs represent the weak hands of the market, which can be sensitive to changes in the market. The cost basis is naturally an important level for any investor, but this cohort especially can be likely to react when such a retest happens. Since most STH whales have been at a loss recently, some may be desperately looking forward to a retest taking place so they can exit from the market at their break-even level. It remains to be seen whether Bitcoin will overcome this obstacle if the current recovery rally continues that far. Related Reading: XRP Sharks & Whales Push Bags To ATH As Price Rockets 19% While the STH whales suffer losses, the LTH whales continue to be in high profits as their Realized Price is at just $22,000, implying that their patience has paid off. BTC Price Bitcoin had briefly broken above $62,000 during the past day, but the coin’s price has since seen a retrace to $60,500.

On-chain data shows a particular Bitcoin whale who accumulated almost $400 million between July 30 and 31. This whale is believed to have purchased the flagship crypto, having seen an opportunity to profit massively thanks to Bitcoins recent price action. Bitcoin Whale Purchases Almost $400 Million Worth Of BTC On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed in an X (formerly Twitter) post that a Bitcoin whale (12QVsoN2qo) has withdrawn 5,800 BTC ($387.88 million) from Binance in the past two days. This purchase suggests the whale anticipates higher prices from the flagship crypto soon enough and is looking to profit from such a price rally when the time comes. Interestingly, this purchase comes amid a decline in Bitcoins price, meaning that the whale sees this as a buy the dip opportunity. Bitcoin dropped to as low as $63,500 on July 31, having rebounded to almost $70,000 days ago. This price drop can be attributed to several factors, including concerns over reports that Iran had ordered a retaliatory attack against Israel for killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting was held on July 31, and the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also said little to suggest that an interest rate cut could come in September, another factor contributing to Bitcoins recent decline. Despite its recent decline, Bitcoin is expected to enjoy another rebound soon enough and possibly break above the $70,000 range on its next leg up and rise to an all-time high (ATH). Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe recently mentioned that Bitcoin looks good to continue toward a new ATH next month as long as the flagship crypto stays above $60,000 to $62,000. Whales Heavily Accumulated BTC In July Data from the market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock shows that Bitcoin whales, holding at least 0.1% of BTC’s circulating supply, bought over 84,000 BTC in July. This represents these whales’ largest monthly wave of Bitcoin accumulation since October 2014. These investors looked to take advantage of the price dips that Bitcoin suffered in July. Bitcoins price crashes in June extended into the beginning of July, as the flagship crypto dropped to as low as $55,000. However, this BTC accumulation from these whales paid off, as the crypto token enjoyed a massive rebound in the latter parts of July and a monthly close in the green. These whales will still hope Bitcoin can record more impressive gains in August. Data from Cryptorank shows that Bitcoin has historically not enjoyed the best price action in August, ending the month in the red on eight occasions since 2011. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $64,400, down almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
