WalletConnect Token (WCT) Attracts Whales

Today, WalletConnect Token (WCT) is attracting attention as whales have started making big quantities of inflow transactions to exchanges, a negative indicator for the token’s price.

According to data from Token Terminal, another 7 million WCT (worth $3.46 million) were deposited into Binance today.

Earlier today, a prominent whale, recognized as crypto trading firm GSR Markets, deposited 4 million WCT tokens worth $1.61 million to Binance. This is an indicator of a profit taking intention, suggesting a bullish sentiment among early investors.

Earlier this week, two major crypto trading firms, Flow Traders and GSR Markets, took notice of the WCT’s rollout. Both firms showed interest in the token and decided to buy 7.5 million WCT coins each. The intent behind these purchases was to provide market making services for the new asset.

Out of the 7.5 million WCT coins acquired by GSR Markets, 2.8 million were moved to exchanges to make sure adequate liquidity and to ascertain that the token’s trading would be seamless during early times of its listing. On the other hand, Flow Traders is still evaluating its trading systems and making small token movements to a few exchanges as part of preparation for bigger token transactions.

When big trading companies like these buy large amounts of WCT tokens, it is normally an indicator of their long-term confidence in the asset and token’s rising demand in the market. However, when these firms move millions of dollars worth tokens to exchanges, it suggests that they are taking some profits or selling their holdings, which is a bearish signal.

After a 1700% increase in trading volume within two days, and exceeding $910 million, it seems that investors on Bitget, Upbit, Binance, OKX, Bybit, MEXC, Bithumb, Kraken, Gate.io, and other major exchanges are engaging in brisk trading activity.

Today, WCT recorded an 11.2% price decline, showing a bearish outlook, suggesting a potential downturn, likely due to increased token inflows to exchanges. Early investors are sitting on unrealized profits. That’s the reason they are moving millions of dollars’ worth WCT tokens to exchanges.

Despite this drop, WCT has managed to hold its value steady, implying that large investors have not yet pushed the button on their selling. It remains to be seen how long they will keep holding on to their profits, particularly if the asset continues its corrections.
