A major Ethereum whale, BitMine, faces potential losses of $7.34 billion as ETH trades near the $1,900 support level, according to an update shared by J.A. Market participants are watching for knock-on effects on volatility and liquidations.
Arkham Intelligence flagged a major Hyperunit whale—believed to be a Chinese entity—on the losing side of a forced deleveraging that triggered a $250M Ethereum liquidation and left the actor with over $5 billion in realized and unrealized losses. The move intensified short-term volatility across ETH markets.
Solana fell about 15% on Friday to a two-year low after a major whale was fully liquidated on a long, realizing roughly $16 million in losses. The move puts the $70 area into focus as a crucial support level for bulls.
An 'OG' Ethereum whale reportedly rebuilding positions after a roughly $250 million loss is accumulating ETH as price nears a potential turning point. The move boosts sentiment but doesn't guarantee a sustained rally.
Whales shifted roughly 110,000 ETH during a week in which ETH fell more than 11%, a large on-chain flow that could steer near-term price action. Traders are watching whether the transfers signal distribution to exchanges or longer-term accumulation.
An unknown wallet pulled 48.53 billion SHIB from Coinbase’s hot wallet, flagged by Arkham, a haul worth about $422,700 at the time. The transfer makes the address a 'SHIB billionaire' in token units, though not in dollar terms.
A Satoshi-era miner moved 2,000 BTC after long inactivity, CryptoQuant researcher Julio Moreno reported. The transfer drew attention because early miner coins can affect market sentiment depending on their destination.
An anonymous holder moved 34.9 billion SHIB off Coinbase in a single transfer on Jan 1, 2026, ending about a month of on-chain quiet. Traders see the withdrawal as potentially bullish since tokens leaving exchanges can reduce immediate sell pressure.
Arkham’s on-chain data shows 485,106,817,819 SHIB moved from a Coinbase Prime hot wallet to a single untagged address over two days, split into three transfers. The transfer raises questions about custody, consolidation and potential market impact.
Roughly $64 million worth of ADA changed hands within minutes on Dec. 9, 2025, coinciding with a pause in Cardano’s rally as the token slipped into negative territory. The identity of the seller remains unclear, raising questions about potential whale activity or exchange liquidations.
