Major cryptocurrency investors, or ‘whales,’ are demonstrating contrasting trading patterns for Bitcoin and Ethereum assets, highlighting varied market outlooks as volatility persists.
Ethereum transactions revealed opposing whale behavior: Address 0x3c9E divested 33,682 ETH (valued at approximately $119 million), while SharpLink Gaming accumulated 30,755 ETH (worth $108.57 million). SharpLink Gaming’s holdings now total 480,031 ETH, equivalent to $1.65 billion.
Institutional Bitcoin accumulation shows unified momentum, with Japanese firm Metaplanet adding 463 BTC ($53.7 million) and El Salvador increasing national reserves to 6,258.18 BTC ($718 million).
Whale capital flowed into emerging tokens including Hyperliquid (HYPE), MAGICIAN, AIPEPE, and CHILLHOUSE, collectively attracting hundreds of thousands in net inflows.
Separately, a dormant Bitcoin address containing 306 BTC reactivated after 12.4 years of inactivity, signaling renewed engagement by long-term holders.
The co-existence of profit-taking and aggressive accumulation underscores heightened market uncertainty, with whales displaying divergent conviction toward Bitcoin and Ethereum amid ongoing price fluctuations.
