ETH whale accumulation entry, retail survival rules
From on-chain monitoring to hedging strategies, the four do's and four don'ts can break the institutional game rules.
1. Positive impact of whale accumulation on retail investors
1. Boosting market confidence
Institutional/whale capital entering the market releases long-term bullish signals, potentially attracting more funds and driving up ETH price levels.
Case: After BlackRock ETH ETF saw an inflow of $470 million in a single day in July 2024, on-chain trading volume led by retail investors surged by 37%.
2. Improvement in liquidity
Whales reduce market slippage by large purchases through OTC (over-the-counter), lowering trading friction costs for retail investors.
Increased institutional holdings drive the improvement of the derivatives market (such as options and futures), providing more hedging tools for retail investors.
