Whale

In Web3, a Whale is an individual or entity that holds a massive quantity of a specific cryptocurrency, giving them the power to influence market prices through large trades.Whale Watching—tracking the on-chain movement of these large wallets—is a popular strategy for identifying accumulation or distribution phases. In 2026, "Institutional Whales" (such as sovereign wealth funds and corporate treasuries) have replaced early adopters as the primary market movers. This tag explores wallet tracking, liquidity impact, and whale sentiment analysis.

XRP dips after 470M tokens sold – $2.60 in sight IF…

The post XRP dips after 470M tokens sold – $2.60 in sight IF… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways XRP lost 4% as whales sold 470 million tokens, with liquidation clusters below $2.60 signaling downside risk. Institutions leaned bearish, while Chainlink’s rising adoption by Swift and JP Morgan eroded XRP’s case. The crypto markets slumped sharply in the last 24 hours, with the total market cap slipping to $3.84 trillion. However, the daily trading volume rose to $186 billion, an 8% increase. Ripple [XRP], the third largest by capitalization, fell 4% and risked deeper losses if broader markets failed to rebound. Let’s unpack the signals behind XRP’s ongoing weakness. XRP faces massive whale exodus Per data from analyst Ali Martinez on X (formerly Twitter), big players were heavily dumping XRP tokens. Over the last ten days, they liquidated more than 470 million XRP as the price hovered around $3. The raid unloading came on the back of a broader market drop seen also in Bitcoin [BTC]. Notably, selling pressure stretched back to late July when XRP traded near $3.50. Source: Ali Charts/X The total exits during this stretch reached almost 1 billion tokens. As whales exited, price action mirrored the sell-off. XRP selling pressure intensifies The price action of XRP/USDT has been in a free fall since the $3.50 high. The altcoin has been making a series of lower highs and lows, a signal for bear strength. The MACD confirmed building seller momentum, fueled by new shorts across derivatives markets. Source: TradingView Coinbase’s addition of perpetual futures for XRP and Solana [SOL] also drew in fresh U.S. short sellers, according to CEO Brian Armstrong. Speaking of derivatives markets, the chart from Trading Different’s heatmap heightened the chances of a further drop. XRP was declining as it liquidated more longs below the price. Per CoinGlass data, high-leverage shorts (50x–100x) clustered between $3.05 and $2.85, accelerating XRP’s fall. Source:…

US Bank Uses Bitcoin Lightning for $740B Remittance Market

US Bank Uses Bitcoin Lightning for $740B Remittance Market

The post US Bank Uses Bitcoin Lightning for $740B Remittance Market appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SoFi Technologies is set to become the first US bank to integrate the Bitcoin Lightning Network and Universal Money Address (UMA), in a move aimed at tackling the $740B global remittance market. Cross-border transfers remain slow and expensive for millions of people sending money abroad. But SoFi’s partnership with Bitcoin infrastructure firm Lightspark promises instant, low-cost alternatives. @lightspark on X The new service marks a clear signal that mainstream finance is beginning to take Bitcoin infrastructure seriously. And as banks adopt Bitcoin rails, projects like Best Wallet and its $BEST token are positioning themselves as the retail counterweight to this wave of institutional adoption. SoFi’s Big Bet on Bitcoin Lightning SoFi’s partnership with Lightspark will allow its 11.7M members to send money abroad using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. The system converts US dollars into Bitcoin in real-time, routes them across Lightning rails, and delivers funds directly to the recipient’s bank account in their local currency. @SoFi on X By leveraging UMA, transfers work like sending an email – removing the complexity of crypto wallets. Fees are set ‘below the national average,’ with full transparency on exchange rates before sending. The service will first go live in Mexico later this year, with a broader roll-out planned. Lightning Adoption Grows Among Major Players SoFi’s move builds on a wider trend of mainstream financial firms embracing Bitcoin Lightning. Coinbase integrated Lightspark’s infrastructure in April 2024 and, within a year, around 15% of all Bitcoin transactions on its platform were routed through Lightning rails. In Latin America, Nubank (Brazil’s largest digital bank) also partnered with Lightspark, although its roll-out has been slower to materialize. The direction of travel is clear: TradFi and fintech players are no longer treating Bitcoin solely as a speculative asset; they also consider it a payments rail with real-world utility.…

Here’s Why This XRP Fall Was Always on the Cards

Here’s Why This XRP Fall Was Always on the Cards

XRP recently corrected sharply amid a broader market crash, but here's why this collapse was always on the cards. For context, the latest correction came after XRP claimed a new peak of $3.66 on July 18. It immediately gave up this level as August opened and continued to battle the bears above $3 until the recent drop made it lose the psychological mark. Specifically, XRP collapsed 6.62% yesterday, its largest daily loss in a month. Profit-Taking Trend Among XRP Holders However, before this drop, The Crypto Basic called attention to a market trend that actually pointed to a massive decline. Specifically, while XRP changed hands above $3, the report revealed that about 94% of XRP wallets were in profit.  Nonetheless, the report noted that while this is an impressive metric in terms of profitability, it might point to a massive price crash in the short term, as most of the wallets that are now seeing gains could start executing profit-taking trades. This often leads to price declines. Notably, historical data confirmed this pattern. For context, in January 2018, when XRP spiked to a new all-time high of $3.3, address profitability surpassed 90%. After this, XRP witnessed a steep drop, crashing by a massive 43.57% in January 2018 alone, and extended the downtrend to a 95.5% drop by the end of the correction. This trend played out again after XRP recovered to the $1.96 high during the 2020/2021 bull run. Upon reaching this peak, XRP's address profitability soared past 90% again. Expectedly, this led to another round of profit-taking trades, with XRP eventually collapsing by 85%. XRP Showing Greater Resilience Now Considering this trend, market analyst Winny argued that with XRP's wallet profitability rising above 90% again, "someone" would eventually sell. This has since materialized, but not in full force. For context, an 85% collapse for XRP would lead to $0.45, and a 95% drop would result in a price of $0.15. Notably, Winny suggested that this time might be different due to rapidly growing whale wallets, a spike in network activity, and positive chart patterns. While the profit-taking trades as well as the broader market downturn have pushed XRP below $3, it still holds firm at $2.9, now attempting to recover the psychological threshold. XRP RSI Shows More Room for GrowthXRP RSI Shows More Room for Growth Despite it trading at $2.9 at press time, XRP's daily RSI still stands at a low 43.05. Notably, when XRP traded for $2.9 in mid-July, its RSI was already overstretched at 83.69. However, it still saw a run to $3.66 days later. With the current 43.05 RSI value, XRP has much more room for growth. As a result, a recovery here could push prices to new highs.
