Yesterday, there was the largest movement of Whales in Bitcoin for some time: here's what they did.
According to data from the cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoOnchain, yesterday's profit realization in Bitcoin was recorded as the largest daily wave of sales since February 2025, amounting to approximately 4 billion dollars. This amount was one of the highest levels of the year, excluding the extraordinary profit realization that occurred on July 4, which approached 9 billion dollars. According to the data, this massive selling pressure primarily came from Whales: Super Whales (>10,000 BTC): 2.17 billion dollars Large Whales (1.000-10.000 BTC): 1.25 billion dollars Other whales (100-1.000 BTC): 495 million dollars CryptoOnchain noted that this move suggests that large, long-term investors are taking advantage of the recent price increase and realizing substantial profits. This type of selling usually occurs at local peaks and may signal a short-term correction or consolidation. The statement also notes that signals of Bitcoin moving from "strong hands to weak hands" may exacerbate the fragility of the market. Experts point out that while this wave of selling may not be the beginning of a long-term downtrend, it serves as a significant warning for short-term investors. Careful monitoring of the movements of these groups of Whales in the future is crucial for predicting the market direction.
