The cryptography market experienced fluctuating performances during the weekend, with total market capitalization on Saturday before rebounding on Sunday and maintaining gains on Monday.
In the midst of this volatility, the activity of whales highlighted various strategies, with notable purchases and sales on several cryptographic assets, in particular Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), and more.
Cryptographic whales perform divergent strategies in the midst of market volatility
Ethereum has drawn significant attention from the market in recent times in the middle of a bullish rally, and whales are no exception. While he experienced a drop during the weekend, a seller, the address of the whale 0x3c9e, continued his aggressive divestment of ETH.
Lookonchain reported that the whale had unloaded a total of 33,682 ETH estimated at around $ 119 million in early August. Arthur Hayes, chief investment director of Maelstrom Fund (IOC), also sold 2,373 ETH worth $ 8.32 million. In addition, the executive liquidated:
“7.76 million ENA ($ 4.62 million) and 38.86 billion PEPE ($ 414,700),” said Lookonchain.
This wave of sales could probably suggest a for -profit strategy in the middle of market uncertainty. On the other hand, other whales have adopted an upward position.
Beincrypto said that a whale had acquired $ 300 million from Eth. In addition, Sharplink Gaming bought 30,755 ETH for 108.57 million USDC. The company now holds 480,031 ETH, which is estimated at around $ 1.65 billion.
Onchain Lens stressed that another whale received 25,540 ETH of Falconx.
“Previously, the whale received 35,615 ETH, worth 130.11 million dollars, which was sent for having undertaken with eth2.0 in 2 portfolios, now faced with a loss of $ 10 million,” said post.
These acquisitions indicated confidence in the long -term value of the ETH despite short -term fluctuations. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency also adjusted their Bitcoin positions.
Today, Metaplanet has announced the addition of 463 BTC to its participations. The company spent about $ 53.7 million to buy this battery, which had an average of $ 115,895 per room.
“At 8/4/2025, we hold 17,595 BTC acquired for around $ 1.78 billion at ~ $ 101,422 per Bitcoin,” wrote Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet.
In addition, El Salvador has increased its national Bitcoin reserves to 6,258.18 BTC, worth around $ 718 million, strengthening its commitment to assets as a cash reserve. In addition, a dormant address containing 306 BTC, inactive for 12.4 years, was reactivated, arousing speculation on the intentions of long -term holders.
Other tokens have also drawn the attention of whales. A chain analyst pointed out that a hyperliquid (hype) whale (0x7BE… 480D8) increased their position by depositing USDC 4.07 million in the hyperliquid exchange and by buying more media threshing tokens. This important purchase has pushed the portfolio eight in the ranking of the best holders.
“Currently, including the marked part, it holds 487,209.95 media threshing (approximately $ 18.65 million), with an unable profit of 1.535 million dollars,” said the analyst.
Meanwhile, Nansen identified a magician, aipepe and chillhouse like tokens with the biggest net of smart money this weekend.
The movements of the weekend whales have revealed polarized market prospects. Selling the pressure of certain cryptocurrencies, with aggressive purchases by other entities, has highlighted divergent investment strategies.
However, the rebound in the market on Sunday and the sustained earnings suggest today that the purchase pressure could prevail over sales.
