Whale Accumulation

Whale accumulation is the term used to describe the huge amount of cryptocurrencies bought or gathered by a wallet. However, this huge whale buying gives out different signals to the Digital asset market.

For instance, a Whale accumulates $100 million worth of XYZ tokens in the last 24 hours. This means that a whale entity bought $100 million worth of XYZ tokens and this gives out many different signals to the crypto market. This can mean that a whale thinks or believes that a certain token price can shoot up in the future over some announcement.

What are Crypto whales?

The cryptocurrency world is full of different kinds of traders and investors. Among these participants, there is a community of individuals who own or have enough funds to buy large amounts of digital assets. This community, particularly in the business world is known as the whale.

However, getting the whale status in the crypto ecosystem depends on different factors. As per the community, a wallet holding a huge number of tokens or coins makes it a whale. Meanwhile, any individual wallet owning or holding over 10% of the total number of any crypto makes it a whale.
