For instance, on August 21, BitcoinOG sold $5 billion worth of BTC to ETH. The transaction involved a series of deposits, including $2.59 billion sold for a $2.2 billion spot ETH and a $577 million Ether perpetual long position. The Whale’s activity triggered a series of purchases on-chain within that day, traders cumulatively acquiring $456 million worth of ETH. The Whale briefly surpassed Sharplink, which is currently second in ETH holdings , valued at $2.57 billion in August.

BTC Whales buy into the dip across the $80-$90K range According to a recent Cryptopolitan report , Bitcoin Whales are buying into the current dip, with BTC pricing around $88,000. Bitcoin Whales represent addresses holding between 1000 and 10000 BTC. The report noted that most whales are buying into the dip while small investors are selling. The report cited the Whale’s Accumulation Trend Score, a metric that tracks whether investors are buying or selling crypto assets over the past 15 days, which is close to 1. Glassnode analytics data indicates a score of nearly 1, which signifies accumulation rather than distribution, as the score typically approaches 0. The analysis suggests that whales are strategically accumulating BTC in the range of $ 80,000 to $ 90,000. The current BTC dip resembles the one experienced in April, when BTC dropped to an all-time low for 2025, approximately $76K, before it rose to its all-time high of $126K in October. The Bitcoin price has maintained a moderate change today, showing only a 0.1% change over the past 24 hours.
