whales

According to Lookonchain monitoring, whales are accumulating TRUMP for Trump's lunch meeting. In the past 2 days, a certain whale withdrew 850,400 TRUMP from Bybit, worth 2.4 million dollars. 17 hours ago, another whale withdrew 105,700 TRUMP from Binance, worth 298,000 dollars, and currently holds 1,130,000 TRUMP, worth 3.2 million dollars.

According to CoinDesk, amid the ongoing geopolitical conflict between the U.S. and Iran for about six weeks, the Bitcoin market is clearly dividing into two camps: "passive buyers" represented by Strategy and spot ETFs continue to absorb chips, while whales, mining companies, and some sovereign holders are turning to reduce their holdings.The selling side is showing clear signs: whale addresses holding 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have shifted from net buying to significant net selling, with the change in holdings this year moving from approximately +200,000 coins to -188,000 coins; publicly listed mining companies are also concentrating on reducing their holdings under high cost pressure, with weekly sales exceeding 19,000 BTC. Additionally, sovereign holders like Bhutan have reduced their Bitcoin reserves by about 70% since October 2024.Analysis indicates that despite market sentiment once being in an extreme panic zone, Bitcoin prices have remained fluctuating in the range of $65,000 to $73,000, showing that the price "bottom" mainly relies on support from a few institutional buyers. The current market buyer base continues to narrow, and future trends will depend on whether institutional capital inflows can continue and break through key resistance zones.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, in the past half hour, whales or institutions controlling 59% of the circulating supply of NOM have continued to transfer 768 million NOM to Binance, worth 3.73 million USD. From last night until now, this entity has transferred a total of 1.442 billion NOM to Binance, worth 7.67 million USD. The price of NOM has dropped 39% in the last 24 hours.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a certain whale opened a 20x leveraged short position on BTC and ETH 30 minutes ago, holding a short position of 562.58 BTC and 18,350 ETH, with a position value of approximately $80,000,000.

Contract whale "Set 10 Big Goals First" (@Jason60704294) posted a long limit order on X at 1 AM this morning. The screenshot shows a limit price of $69,574.7, adding 270.37 Bitcoin long positions. Bitcoin fell below this purchase price this morning, so it is expected that this order has been executed.Yesterday afternoon, Bitcoin briefly broke through the $70,000 mark, and the BTC long position of whale "Set 10 Big Goals First" once had an unrealized profit of $5.52 million.

Glassnode's on-chain data shows that Bitcoin holders with 100 to 1,000 coins, referred to as "sharks," and those with 1,000 to 10,000 coins, known as "whales," have realized daily losses of approximately $188.5 million and $147.5 million, respectively, totaling about $337 million. The cumulative locked-in losses for the year have reached as high as $30.9 billion, nearing the levels seen during the 2022 bear market.Analysis indicates that the current selling pressure stems from rising macro risks (inflation expectations, crowded AI trading, etc.) and weakening market confidence, with large holders accelerating their stop-loss exits. Meanwhile, long-term holders (LTH) continue to realize daily losses at a high level of about $200 million, indicating that there has not yet been a clear "exhaustion of selling pressure" in the market. Institutions believe that under multiple pressures, Bitcoin still faces further downside risks, with some views suggesting a potential bottom range between $40,000 and $50,000.

Glassnode data shows that whales holding between 100 and 10,000 BTC are experiencing massive losses. Currently, the 7-day moving average indicates they are losing over $200 million daily. This is a typical capitulation selling behavior of large institutions.

Despite an increase in institutional buying, Bitcoin demand remains under pressure. As of the end of last month, apparent demand (measuring the extent to which demand exceeds or falls short of newly mined Bitcoin) was approximately negative 63,000 coins. Although ETF buying strength has increased during the same period, Strategy Inc. continues to accumulate. The report indicates that retail and other market participants' selling has exceeded institutional incremental buying, and demand has been continuously contracting since late November 2025, with the overall market still in a distribution phase.The whale group that accumulated about 200,000 Bitcoins during the 2024 bull market began large-scale distribution in mid-2025, with the selling pace accelerating in the fourth quarter of 2025. The buying speed of medium-sized investors is also slowing down. Bitcoin rose 2.2% in March, ending a five-month decline, but the current price is about $68,000, down approximately 45% from the peak of $126,000 in early October.In the U.S. market, Coinbase's premium has turned negative again, indicating weakened buying from U.S. investors. CryptoQuant states that if geopolitical tensions ease, Bitcoin prices may rebound in the short term.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a whale address purchased 5,039 ETH for approximately 10 million dollars. Currently, this address holds a total of 138,234 ETH, valued at about 274 million dollars, while having an outstanding loan position of approximately 142.3 million dollars.

According to Cointelegraph, the latest data shows that if Bitcoin further falls below $60,000, the time for the market to recover to historical highs may be delayed until 2027.Analysis indicates that Bitcoin has retraced about 48% from its peak of approximately $126,000 in 2025. According to historical patterns, for every additional 10% drop, the recovery period is extended by an average of about 80 days. If $60,000 is the bottom for this phase, it is expected to take about 300 days to complete the recovery; however, if it continues to drop to the $40,000-$45,000 range, the overall retracement will exceed 60%, and the recovery period may extend to about 440 days, pushing the timeline to after the second quarter of 2027.On-chain indicators also show that the bottom has not yet been confirmed. The comprehensive market index (BCMI) is currently around 0.27, above the historical bottom range (approximately 0.12-0.15), indicating that there is still room for further downside. In terms of capital flow, the continued selling by whales is intensifying pressure. Data shows that the selling intensity by large holders has reached its highest level in nearly 18 months, while liquidity in both the spot and futures markets is weakening simultaneously. Institutional views suggest that the current market is in a deep adjustment cycle, and if the macro environment remains tight (including high interest rates or even rate hikes), it will further delay the recovery pace of the cryptocurrency market.

According to crypto analyst Yu Jin @EmberCN, a whale opened a long position of about 1.38 million HYPE at a price of $38.6 last year, with a position size of approximately $53.3 million.During the subsequent market correction, HYPE once dropped to about $20, and the address avoided liquidation by adding margin, with an unrealized loss peaking at around $26 million. The current HYPE price has risen above the opening price, and the position has turned into an unrealized profit of about $440,000.

According to monitoring by Hyperinsight, at 0:00 today, ETH continued to rebound after reaching $2100. During this period, a total of 10 whales opened long positions and 4 whales opened short positions on the Hyperliquid platform, with the total long position size reaching $61.61 million.Among them, the largest new position was opened by a whale starting with 0x049, who opened a long position of $20.07 million in ETH with 20x leverage, at an average price of $2160 and a liquidation price of $2095.

According to monitoring by Hyperinsight, among the whales on Hyperliquid with positions exceeding ten million dollars, the address closest to the liquidation price is a whale starting with 0xedf. It currently has a 25x leverage short position of 500 BTC, approximately 35.6 million dollars, with an average price of 70,274 dollars, and the liquidation price is at 72,685 dollars, about 2.1% away from liquidation.This whale has preset 18 buy orders in the range of 71,240 to 72,420 dollars, totaling about 500 BTC, planning to reduce positions and stop losses when BTC rises to this range; meanwhile, it has also placed about 200 buy orders below, planning to take profits in batches after BTC falls below 69,500 dollars, with a target range extending to 63,500 dollars.

According to monitoring by Hyperinsight, U.S. stock cryptocurrency concept stocks collectively fell back, with Circle (CRCL) down 20.1%. The contract for this asset on Hyperliquid is currently reported at $102.7.During this sharp decline, two on-chain whales (0xcee) and (0x51b) simultaneously took action to bottom-fish early this morning, each opening about $1 million in CRCL long positions, with average entry prices of $106 and $103 respectively, and the liquidation price for the closest one is at $95.8.

According to Coinglass data, recently, Strategy and on-chain whales have significantly accelerated their accumulation of Bitcoin.The balance of Bitcoin in CEX wallets has reached a nearly two-year low, totaling 2,463,300 coins. In the past 24 hours, there has been a net outflow of 8,323.72 Bitcoins from CEX. Over the past 30 days, the net outflow has reached 32,190.17 coins.

According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa, the whale "UnRektCapital," which is long on crude oil and short on BTC, has become the second-largest short position in Bitcoin on Hyperliquid. After increasing its position, it holds a total of 616 BTC with a 40x short position, valued at $42.29 million, with an opening price of $72,144, currently showing an unrealized profit of $2.15 million;In addition, it has also shorted HYPE / TRUMP / SILVER, with a total short position of $58.588 million, while simultaneously going long on Brent crude oil valued at $5.46 million. All five positions are currently in a state of unrealized profit, with a total unrealized profit exceeding $6.6 million.

According to HyperInsight monitoring, the whale (0x5d2f4) has canceled a limit buy order for BTC at the price level of $50,525 on Hyperliquid, but will still buy 50 BTC when BTC drops to $53,525.This whale entered the market with a 20x leverage short position of 499.91 BTC at a Bitcoin price of $111,499.3 and has now fully closed the position, with a total profit of $61.34 million over the entire period.

Crypto analyst Murphy posted on the X platform reviewing the market dynamics of the past week. Monitoring shows unusual capital flows for Bitcoin: when BTC rebounded to $70,000-$71,000, a group of whale addresses (each holding over 1,000 BTC) sold 24,867 BTC and 17,818 BTC respectively. The average loss on the sold chips compared to their cost reached 50%, while the loss on the sold chips was less than 10%. Analysis shows that these chips originated from low purchases in May-July 2025 and early April, with part of them being sold off after significant losses, and another part being rotated out after precise bottom fishing.Strategy bought 22,337 BTC again on March 17, absorbing most of the excess supply. Nevertheless, this event reflects that market sentiment remains extremely fragile, and investors holding BTC for nearly a year are gradually losing patience. Future price rebounds may still trigger pressure from loss-making chips.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, two whales sold a total of 2,842 XAUT during the decline of gold, including:Whale "0xf56" sold 1,733 XAUT, obtaining 8.04 million USDC, and then bought 113.69 WBTC, incurring a loss of 863,000 USD;Whale "0xafd" sold 1,109 XAUT, obtaining 5.13 million USDC, and then deposited it into Aave V3, incurring a loss of 867,000 USD.
