Bitcoin price action and whale activity

BTC weakened amid inflation-related attention from a Bloomberg report noting a oil-price spike and revived inflation concerns. In the live whale tape, BTC logged 16 prints with buy volume of $15,017,039 and sell volume of $24,993,665. Netting the tape amounts implies net whale selling of -$9,976,626 over the last 24 hours.

Ethereum and major altcoin moves

ETH’s tape shows 5 whale prints with $16,574,155 in buys and $0 in whale sells, indicating a buy-side imbalance at large trade sizes. News coverage also stayed active around Ethereum’s institutional/large-holder narrative, including reports that Tom Lee’s BitMine holdings rose to 5.77 million ETH (about 4.8% of total supply) and additional ETH additions noted at 27,801 ETH. For SOL, the altcoin tape contrasted sharply with BTC/ETH: 17 whale prints with buys of $3,662,160 and sells of $20,174,904 (net -$16,512,744).
