Bitcoin (BTC) began the final week of 2025 rising above $90,000, but has since pulled back slightly.
Prices continue to fluctuate between $84,000 and $90,000, but whales are still active.
Whales continue to buy, with purchases of Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH), altcoins, and more.
Chinese institutional investor Whale Trend Research purchased an additional 16,078 ETH worth $48.12 million from Binance today, according to a post on crypto analysis platform Onchain Lens. They currently hold a total of 607,828 ETH, worth $1.78 billion.
Two newly created wallets purchased Bitcoin from Binance. According to the data, the two new wallets purchased 1,600 BTC worth $143.6 million from Binance.
However, the big whale spent $2.66 million and bought 8.58 million FARTCOIN over the past two days.
Another whale bought 2,218 ETH worth $6.52 million, 37.1 million SKY worth $2.36 million, and 4,772 AAVE worth $730,000 from Kraken. This same whale also purchased 519 ETH from Wintermute 19 days ago. In total, the whales hold 2,738 ETH (worth $8.07 million).
Whales engage in long/short trading in addition to spot purchases. In response, Whale opened a long position in altcoin LIT via Hyper Liquid.
Therefore, the giant whale transferred 1.8 million USDC to the decentralized futures exchange HyperLiquid and opened a long position of 3x LIT.
In response, a whale named “Neoyokio.eth” (“0x350”) invested 2 million USDC in HyperLiquid and opened a short position in ZEC with 2x leverage.
