Whale

In Web3, a Whale is an individual or entity that holds a massive quantity of a specific cryptocurrency, giving them the power to influence market prices through large trades.Whale Watching—tracking the on-chain movement of these large wallets—is a popular strategy for identifying accumulation or distribution phases. In 2026, "Institutional Whales" (such as sovereign wealth funds and corporate treasuries) have replaced early adopters as the primary market movers. This tag explores wallet tracking, liquidity impact, and whale sentiment analysis.

Whales dump over $3 billion in Bitcoin; Crash to $100k next?

Whales dump over $3 billion in Bitcoin; Crash to $100k next?

The post Whales dump over $3 billion in Bitcoin; Crash to $100k next? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Over the past six days, whales controlling between 10,000 and 100,000 coins have dumped more than 30,000 Bitcoin (BTC), worth over $3.45 billion. The sales triggered a pullback, causing the cryptocurrency to slip just barely above key support levels at $115,000. Additional selling pressure is likewise coming from long-term holders, who have also begun cashing out and thus amplifying the downside potential, as per CryptoQuant data on August 19. Coin Days Destroyed chart. Source: CryptoQuant Will Bitcoin drop to $100k? Bitcoin was trading at $115,553 at the time of writing, having seen a modest daily gain of 0.45% but still being down 2.5% on the weekly chart. As things stand, the world’s largest cryptocurrency risks further losses if selling continues, as a drop below $115,000 could send the price toward $112,500, with a deeper slide potentially testing $110,000. Further headwinds are generated by major Bitcoin ETF issuers trimming their holdings. For instance, Ark 21Shares offloaded 559.85 BTC, worth roughly $64.4 million, while BlackRock cut 490 BTC, valued at $68.7 million.  Though in and of themselves small relative to the funds’ overall portfolios, the moves are coming just as the “digital gold’s” dominance triggered a Death Cross, a technical signal often associated with capital rotation out of BTC. Overall, the sales coincide with generally fragile crypto market conditions marked by weakening liquidity, so the question remains whether the recent moves are merely tactical rebalancing strategies driven by macroeconomic developments or more serious symptoms of changing institutional attitudes.  Featured image via Shutterstock Source: https://finbold.com/whales-dump-over-3-billion-in-bitcoin-crash-to-100k-next/

Bitcoin Bull Run Finished? $172 Million Mystery Whale Thinks Opposite

Bitcoin Bull Run Finished? $172 Million Mystery Whale Thinks Opposite

The post Bitcoin Bull Run Finished? $172 Million Mystery Whale Thinks Opposite appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The past few days have been rough for Bitcoin (BTC) on the chart. The price dropped back to the $115,000 range after not being able to hold its August high of $123,000. But looking at Onchain Lens records, it seems someone is secretly building one of the biggest positions seen this month. One wallet connected to FalconX inflows has been getting Bitcoin at a rate that looks more like a calculated plan than just chance. Just yesterday, it received 300 BTC, which is almost $35 million. That brings its total for the last 30 days to over 1,500 BTC, which is about $176 million. You Might Also Like Every few days, the address lights up again, showing another transfer, with amounts ranging from 100 to 160 BTC. It is like a faucet is being turned on at regular intervals. Whales are accumulating $BTC from #FalconX. Whale 1: Received 300 $BTC worth $34.71M. Over the past month, this whale has accumulated 1,521 $BTC ($176.27M). – bc1qgfqhl6ejwexutlfpmnmzl0qtzpyzqg86jn02sv Whale 2: Received 210 $BTC worth $24.3M. In the past 10 days, this whale… pic.twitter.com/c2W3PZlcBa — Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens) August 19, 2025 Another address on the same trail is close behind. Earlier this week, it received 210 BTC, worth about $24.3 million, but that was just part of a bigger trend. In just the last 10 days, it raked in almost 467 BTC, which is about $54 million. Most of those coins came straight from FalconX. So, is bull run unfinished? The timing of these transfers — which are happening at the same time as prices are dropping — suggests that someone is willing to take the other side of the market when sentiment is thinning out. You Might Also Like Bitcoin’s chart is not very encouraging right now, but whale behavior often follows a different timeline. While…

Top 3 Hidden Gem Buys in a Choppy Market — Cardano, APT and MAGACOIN FINANCE Named Strategic Accumulations

Top 3 Hidden Gem Buys in a Choppy Market — Cardano, APT and MAGACOIN FINANCE Named Strategic Accumulations

The post Top 3 Hidden Gem Buys in a Choppy Market — Cardano, APT and MAGACOIN FINANCE Named Strategic Accumulations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclaimer: This content is a sponsored article. Bitcoinsistemi.com is not responsible for any damages or negativities that may arise from the above information or any product or service mentioned in the article. Bitcoinsistemi.com advises readers to do individual research about the company mentioned in the article and reminds them that all responsibility belongs to the individual. August 2025 finds crypto traders navigating a turbulent landscape. Bitcoin’s price action has been uncertain, liquidity pockets are drying up, and altcoin volatility has created both opportunity and risk. In such conditions, the smartest investors don’t chase every move — they accumulate hidden gems quietly building strength beneath the noise. This month, analysts point to Cardano, Aptos, and MAGACOIN FINANCE as three standout plays. Each represents a different kind of opportunity, with one rooted in governance and upgrades, another in technical innovation, and the third in viral presale momentum. Cardano: Governance Powerhouse with Long-Term Utility Cardano has weathered countless market swings, and while recent whale selling created pressure, its fundamentals remain strong. The approval of a $71 million treasury to fund ecosystem growth, alongside Hydra scaling upgrades, reinforces its role as a decentralized governance leader. Trading near $1.25 after a rebound, ADA is still seen as a long-term core holding. Analysts argue that its roadmap, community strength, and focus on sustainability position it as a coin to strategically accumulate during choppy markets rather than chase during peaks. Aptos: Building Quiet Strength in Developer Circles Aptos may not dominate headlines, but beneath the surface its adoption is climbing. With the Move programming language and fast execution speeds, Aptos has attracted meaningful developer interest across DeFi and NFT applications. Currently sitting between $3.37 and $5.74, Aptos is widely viewed as undervalued relative to its potential. Moreover, market forecasts show multi-year growth potential that underscore its appeal…

Who’s Getting Rich Off The $100 Billion Crypto Treasury Boom

Who’s Getting Rich Off The $100 Billion Crypto Treasury Boom

The post Who’s Getting Rich Off The $100 Billion Crypto Treasury Boom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. From Anchorage Digital to BitGo and Morgan Stanley, a growing cast of financial firms are reaping big fees riding the tidal wave of corporate bitcoin buying. A record number of public companies are shoveling crypto onto their balance sheets—ostensibly to diversify their holdings, hedge against inflation and attract new investors. The unstated reason, of course, is management’s desire to boost their stock price. In recent months, just announcing a so-called “crypto treasury” strategy has been enough to add premiums to trading prices. The real bonanza however, is flowing to the picks-and-shovels merchants of this latest gold rush: custodians, brokers, asset managers and investment banks collecting fees on every trade, transfer and storage deal. Over the past six months, the trend has reached “fever pitch” and “has gone fully contagious,” says Nathan McCauley, cofounder and CEO of San Francisco-based Anchorage Digital. His crypto bank has already struck deals to oversee Trump Media’s $2 billion bitcoin treasury and a $760 million trove from Nakamoto Holdings, a bitcoin-focused company that recently announced a SPAC merger with KindlyMD, a tiny money losing Salt Lake City-based healthcare operation whose stock languished at under $2 per share before the May press release. Today, KindlyMD’s Nakamoto, whose name pays homage to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, is listed as NAKA on the NASDAQ. Its shares sell for $15, giving it a market cap of $114 million. A year ago, a small group of corporate buyers collectively held just over 416,000 bitcoin. Today, no less than 152 publicly traded companies control over 950,000 coins worth over $110 billion, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.net. The undisputed whale in the group is still billionaire Michael Saylor’s Strategy, the company that pioneered the corporate crypto playbook, leaning heavily on creative financing from convertible notes to variable-rate perpetual preferred stock. Strategy Inc., which…
