Recently, the crypto market has witnessed noteworthy whale activity. As pr the data from Lookonchain, a whale has bought Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH)

A cryptocurrency whale has bought Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) for a total of around $110M in an over-the-counter (OTC) transfer, as pr the data from on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain.

It seems that a whale bought 30K ETH($54M) and 600 BTC($56.7M) through OTC today.

This whale transferred 54.9M USDC and 56.94M USDC to the Wintermute OTC wallet today, then received 30K ETH(54M) and 600 BTC(56.7M) from Wintermute.https://t.co/D9cJIXZcbS…pic.twitter.com/NUZUE0gjM0

According to the on-chain analytics platform, the whale purchased 30,000 ETH, valued at approximately $54M, and 600 BTC, which is roughly equal to $56.7M.

The integration of these assets suggests an intent to capitalize on the potential bull run in the cryptocurrency market.

The large-scale whale transfers, often serving as a bullish sign, according to Lookonchain’s statistics, can also lead to high volatility periods, based on whether the assets are kept for long term or are shifted onto crypto exchanges for likely resale.

Earlier this week, a report by The Block revealed that Wintermute’s trading volumes decreased in July compared to the previous month. The report also mentioned that the crypto market maker experienced a setback in its derivatives trading activity.

Wintermute provides liquidity and executes big OTC crypto deals. OTC platforms allow large-scale crypto investors to sell or purchase massive amounts without influencing the wider market prices. Executing these transfers on open exchanges could result in significant impact on the wider market.
