Live Whale Alerts for Crypto
Get pinged the second a whale buys or sells, with the side, price and exchange, not hours later. Updated for 2026.
Live whale alerts notify you in real time when a very large crypto trade or transfer happens. The useful kind alert on the trade itself, so you learn a whale bought or sold, at what price, on which exchange, as it happens. CoinLobster sends live whale alerts by push, email and Telegram on executed buys and sells across 15 exchanges plus on-chain and Hyperliquid, and every $1M+ trade is free. Whale Alert sends alerts on on-chain transfers (money moving, with no buy or sell direction), and Cielo alerts on specific wallets you add. If you want to know what a whale actually did, alert on the trade.

Live whale alerts: common questions
What are live crypto whale alerts?
Live whale alerts notify you in real time when a very large crypto trade happens. CoinLobster alerts on the executed trade, so you get the side (buy or sell), the price and the exchange the moment it prints, by push, email or Telegram.
Are there free whale alerts?
Yes. On CoinLobster, every crypto trade of $1M or more triggers a live alert on a free account, with no card. A Pro plan from $15/mo lets you alert on smaller whale trades and set finer rules.
What is the difference between a whale trade alert and a whale transfer alert?
A transfer alert tells you coins moved between wallets, which has no buy or sell direction and can just be an exchange reshuffling its own wallets. A trade alert tells you a whale actually bought or sold, at what price and where. CoinLobster alerts on the trade.
Can I get whale alerts on Telegram?
Yes. CoinLobster delivers whale alerts by push notification, email and Telegram, and you choose the coin, size, side and venue that trigger them.
Do the alerts come before or after the move?
Any alert lands as the trade prints, which is often at the start of a move rather than after it. Because CoinLobster logs and scores every alert against what price did next, you can see honestly how often they led somewhere.
