My people, hold on tight because things got intense in the crypto world this week! 🤯 With tensions in the Middle East hotter than spicy peppers, the financial markets got nervous. And of course, the cryptocurrency sector, which never sleeps, felt the impact when Israel and Iran were facing off. But pay attention: despite the hustle, the Bitcoin whales went for buying! 🚀

At first, when things exploded with the attacks from Israel on Iran, some whales, those who move millions, took the opportunity to take profits. There were some big transactions, like whales eating big! 🐋💨 But don't worry, it was a small thing and it quickly reverted. It wasn't a widespread panic.

Here we bring you the weekly summary of what these giant wallets did. We also take a close look at the investors from Wall Street, those sharks who buy Bitcoin indirectly through spot ETFs! 📈 So, stay sharp, because this data gives us an idea of where the price of Bitcoin might head next week.

How did the Bitcoin whales move this week? 🌊

Most of the week, the price of Bitcoin was flirting with its all-time highs, almost touching the sky! But on Thursday night and early Friday morning, after the attacks on Iran, things got ugly and the currency started to lose momentum. It was a massive liquidation, like a stampede! 🏃‍♀️💨

But despite that, throughout most of the week there was a trend of BTC leaving centralized exchanges. This means that the whales were moving their Bitcoins to accumulation wallets, as if they were storing treasures! 💰 This, in the long run, could cause a supply crisis, because if there is less Bitcoin available on exchanges, the price could skyrocket! 🚀

With Bitcoin close to its all-time highs, some whales sent transactions of more than 1,000 BTC each. They were like partial pickups that kept the price stable near $110,000. But on Tuesday, those Bitcoins returned to unknown wallets, and the cycle repeated on Wednesday. After the drop on Thursday, Bitcoin never got close to its record again.

The conflict in the Middle East put a pause on the accumulating whales. But by Friday, they were back to buying! However, more calmly, as if walking on eggs. 🥚

Wall Street: The sharks didn't stop buying! 🤑

Now, in the Wall Street neighborhood, the big investors acted like true adults. They bought Bitcoin non-stop all week! The spot BTC ETFs had dominant capital inflows every day. Friday was crazy, with $301.7 million coming in! 🤯 In total, these exchange-traded products saw an inflow of $1.370 billion! The biggest day was Tuesday, with $431.2 million.

And as expected, the BlackRock IBIT fund was the one that took the most from this pie, grabbing the majority of that capital from Wall Street! They are really betting big on Bitcoin! 💪

The latest movements of the whales: Caution but no brakes! 🐢💨

This Saturday, the whales are being cautious, as if they don't want to make a fuss, due to the ongoing situation between Tehran and Tel Aviv. That's why the transactions of more than 1,000 BTC have been few.

But be careful, that doesn't mean there weren't big movements. A withdrawal of 5,000 Bitcoins from Okex was recorded! Tremendous amount! Besides that, there were no transactions over 600 BTC.

For us investors, it's super important to keep an eye on the movements of these whales. As I mentioned at the beginning, if we keep them on our radar this weekend, we can get an idea of how they will move next week! So, stay alert! 👀$BTC
