🐋 Understanding whale movements in the crypto market
On-chain data doesn't lie — and one of the most interesting places to monitor large movements is Whale Alert.
In the screenshot above, we have some real examples and what they might mean:
🔹 100M USDC minted – Creation of 100 million USDC by the treasury. This increases the supply and may indicate more liquidity entering the market (sometimes anticipating large purchases).
🔹 15,065 ETH → Coinbase – An unknown wallet sent ~64.6M USD in ETH to the exchange. Generally, inflows to exchanges can signify an intention to sell.
🔹 12,020 ETH → unknown wallet – Outflow of ETH from an institutional service (FalconX) to a private wallet. This is viewed as a sign of accumulation/holding.
🔹 11,678 ETH → Coinbase Institutional – Movement to the institutional area of Coinbase, possibly for sale or OTC trading.
📊 How to interpret:
Large inflows to exchanges = possible selling pressure.
Large outflows = possible accumulation.
Minting of stablecoins = increase in liquidity in the ecosystem.
