Whale Activities
The growing influence of new whales in the Bitcoin market has been particularly noteworthy in recent times. The share of new whales in total realized capitalization has now reached 60%. It was reported that new whales entered the active growth phase, especially when the Bitcoin price reached $ 55,000, and their share increased by 43% in this process, reaching 60% of the total realized capitalization. These whales are defined as market participants holding more than 1,000 BTC but with a coin age of less than 155 days. While old whales stick to longer-term strategies, new whales stand out as investors who react faster to market changes and actively trade. According to analyst AxelAdlerJr, large investors, or “whales”, who play an important role in the Bitcoin market, continue to shape both long-term stability and short-term market dynamics. On the other hand, according to the latest data reported by Santiment, the number of wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC reached an all-time high of 15,777. This increase indicates that the confidence of large investors in Bitcoin is rising and their influence on the market is strengthening.

He stated.
Whales Data
According to the data that attracted attention in the cryptocurrency market in the last 7 days, whale activity on the central exchange has reached high levels. When we look at the last 7 days of whale movements, it shows that central exchanges are being used by whales in an excessive way. When we look at the Exchange Whale Ratio metric, this measurement, which was 0.41 on January 23rd, is seen as 0.52 at the time of writing. This shows us that whales are currently using centralized exchanges too much. When this ratio is above 0.350, it usually means that whales use centralized exchanges frequently. In the first half of this 7-day period , the use of centralized exchanges, which were underutilized, seems to have increased more towards the end. At the same time, total BTC transfers decreased by 26% compared to last week, with 4,413,112 BTC moving.
