Thanks to 0xScope for the data support

On August 5, the global capital markets experienced a historic crash. Although the U.S. stock market showed some recovery after opening last night, the shadow of "Black Monday" has not yet dissipated.

After the crash on August 5, the total market capitalization of the crypto market briefly fell below $1.9 trillion, with a 24-hour decline of 16.8%; Bitcoin's market cap dropped below $1 trillion, overtaken by Meta, falling to the 10th position among global mainstream assets; Ethereum wiped out all gains for the year, returning to the price level at the start of the K-line on January 1.

However, as the saying goes, a major crash brings both crisis and opportunity. With the help of data from 0xScope, BlockBeats has compiled the trading movements of whales who executed single swap transactions exceeding $100,000 on the Ethereum chain between August 5 and August 6. Let's take a look at which tokens the whales bought/sold during this wave of decline.

It is important to note that there were a total of 1,671 transactions over $100,000 during this statistical period, and stablecoin operations are not included in the following data analysis. Additionally, tokens such as WLD, LDO, SDEX, UNI, TURBO, etc., had only one to three transactions, so they are not included in the statistics below.
