I understand that we want crypto to thrive. It would be great to see the userbase grow. It would also completely wreck the blockchains in their current state. You think ETH gas fees are high? Imagine 10x or 100x more users trying to transact on the network. Even layer 2 solutions are not ready for…

On-chain data shows Bitcoin whale ratio still has a high value right now, suggesting that more downside could be coming for the crypto soon. Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio Has Stayed At Elevated Values Recently As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the BTC exchange whale ratio has remained at high values recently. The “exchange whale ratio” is defined as the sum of the top 10 Bitcoin transactions to exchanges divided by the total inflows. In simpler terms, this indicator tells us the relative size of the whale transactions (that is, the ten largest transactions) compared to the total amount of coins moving into exchanges. When the value of this ratio spikes up, it means whales now account for a high percentage of the total exchange inflows. This can be a sign of dumping from these massive holders, and could prove to be bearish for the price of Bitcoin.

In response to this new wave of dumping from the whales, the price has dropped off below the $45k level once again.

However, it’s also possible the Bitcoin whales may be done with their dumping for now and the ratio could drop back off to allow the price to recover, but it all remains to be seen. BTC Price At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $43.1k, down 5% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has accumulated 13% in gains.
