$BTC â Myth Busted đ
Whales Arenât Accumulating Like Everyone Thinks
Thereâs a huge misconception circling crypto right now:
Bitcoin whales are not quietly loading up.
Most of the so-called âwhale accumulationâ charts are skewed by exchange wallet consolidation. When exchanges bundle funds into fewer big wallets, it looks like whales are buying â but itâs just bookkeeping, not real buying pressure.
Remove exchange wallets from the data and the story flips:
đ» Whale balances are trending lower
đ» 100â1,000 BTC wallets (often ETF-linked) are net sellers
đ» Monthly balance changes stay negative despite price moves
Translation: smart money isnât aggressively accumulating â at least not yet.
Prices can still rise without whales buying.
Narratives can mislead â on-chain data usually doesnât.
