#VIRTUALWhale In the cryptocurrency world, a "virtual whale" refers to an entity—often an individual, institution, or algorithm—that holds and controls a large amount of a specific cryptocurrency. These whales have significant influence over market prices due to their ability to execute large trades that can impact liquidity and volatility. Some virtual whales use sophisticated trading strategies, such as market manipulation tactics like "whale spoofing" or "pump and dump" schemes. Tracking whale movements through blockchain analysis helps traders predict market trends. As cryptocurrency markets mature, regulations aim to minimize the disruptive influence of virtual whales and promote fairer trading environments.
