Which Coins Have Crypto Whales Been Buying, Selling, and Holding Lately?

Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto market started the week under pressure, dropping 0.46% in the last 24 hours (15/9) as volatility continued to affect market sentiment.

In this situation, whales have significantly reshuffled portfolios in key assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and others – suggesting a mix of accumulation and profit-taking.

How Do Whales Trade Ethereum?

Ethereum continued to attract interest from crypto whales this week. According to a report from OnChain Lens, a large investor (address 0x7451) received 13,322 ETH from FalconX, worth approximately $62 million. In the past four days, this whale has accumulated a total of 22,556 ETH – worth approximately $104.87 million – from FalconX.

New wallets are also starting to enter the market. Address 0x5509 withdrew 10,001 ETH (approximately $46.4 million) from OKX yesterday. Another new address, 0x4d43, withdrew 4,208 ETH (about $19.48 million) from Binance, according to data from Lookonchain.

Meanwhile, address 0x5Fe moved 1,000 ETH (worth $4.65 million) from Binance. In the past two months, this wallet has collected 8,711 ETH (approximately $33.76 million) with an average withdrawal price of $3,876.

Amidst the aggressive accumulation, selling activity also increased. Lookonchain notes that address 0x172b sold 5,171 ETH (worth $23.79 million) at a price of $4,601, leading to a loss of approximately $206,000.

In addition, a more established address also began trimming large holdings. This investor previously bought 35,575 ETH between early March and April 2025, at an average price of nearly $2,022.

However, over the weekend, the wallet reportedly sold 11,986 ETH worth $55.59 million.

“If the sale goes through, he will record a profit of $31.35 million, with a return of 129.4%; currently, his remaining 26,912 ETH are spread across more than a dozen wallet addresses, with a total value of $124 million,” the analyst added.

From Bitcoin to PUMPs: Whales Drive New Wave of Volatility

Besides Ethereum, some crypto whales have also started selling Bitcoin. Yesterday, Lookonchain reported that a prominent OG Bitcoin investor-who two weeks ago traded 35,991 BTC (about $4.04 billion) for 886,371 ETH (about $4.07 billion)-is back in the market.

According to the data, two wallets associated with this investor have deposited 1,176 BTC worth $136.2 million into the Hyperliquid (HYPE) platform and have started selling it. This move marks the re-emergence of selling pressure on Bitcoin after a brief respite.

In the Pump.fun (PUMP) ecosystem, a whale spent 3.22 million USDC to buy 426.43 million PUMP tokens on Hyperliquid, at an average price of $0.00755 according to OnChain Lens.

However, two days earlier, the same investor had deposited 1.23 billion PUMP (worth $7.27 million) into Binance. On the other hand, another whale withdrew 1 billion PUMP (approximately $8.03 million) from Bybit.

A savvy trader named DCfMe7 also made a huge profit. Two months ago, he bought 360.43 million PUMP worth about $949,000 at $0.00263. He then sold 130 million PUMP worth $1.11 million at an average price of $0.00854.

Despite taking profits, he still holds 230.43 million PUMPs (approximately $1.86 million), with total profits exceeding $2 million-providing a return of 213%.

Whale also actively trades Solana

Some other big players also made moves. HQm5’s address moved its entire PUMP stake to OKX. The whale previously acquired 2.5 billion PUMP through a $10 million private sale.

Meanwhile, crypto whales are also actively trading Solana (SOL). Renowned institutional firm Galaxy Digital increased its Solana accumulation by buying 1.2 million SOL worth $306 million.

The move follows a broader trend, where the company has bought around 6.5 million SOLs with a total value of $1.55 billion in the last five days. Separately, one whale or institution transferred 60,000 SOL worth $14.82 million to Binance.

These transactions reflect a combination of accumulation, profit-taking, and strategic repositioning by major players in the market.
