Much of the momentum behind Tezos has been fueled party due the fact that the cryptocurrency generates passive income for investors who participate in the asset&#8217;s proof-of-stake conensus by staking or &#8220;delegating&#8221; Tezos.

Volume is a signal that assets are changing hands, and volume always precedes price action. The latest crypto market massacre saw the highest level of single day trading volume in the altcoin market&#8217;s history. Why This Cryptocurrency is the Hottest Market Around After the cryptocurrecy rising over 400% since October 2019, and surging over 1,000% from its bear market bottom in December 2018, its not surpising to understand why whales would be seeking to take full advantage of a massive, panic-driven drop across the altcoin market. In additon to Tezos astronomical gains, the cryptocurrency also offers as much as 5% annually through the APY provided by Coinbase. The earliest investors in they ultra-hyped cryptocurrency are not only cleaning up in terms of investment gains, but are compounding their interest through staking. Given the momentum Tezos has behind it, and the value it brings investors, it very well could end up being among the best performers of the next bull market. So, it should come as little suprirse that &#8220;smart money&#8221; is scooping up more Tezos at as low as price as they can during each major correction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":517,"featured_media":416260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1393,15103,6664,72387,10694],"class_list":["post-416257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-coinbase","tag-coinbase-custody","tag-crypto","tag-delegators","tag-tezos"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>\u2028Whales Double Down on Tezos Cryptocurrency Amidst Retail Driven Selloff<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The cryptocurrency known as Tezos has been the shining star of the altcoin market over the last two months, rising over 200% in value since the start of\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/\u2028whales-double-down-on-tezos-cryptocurrency-amidst-retail-driven-selloff\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u2028Whales Double Down on Tezos Cryptocurrency Amidst Retail Driven Selloff\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The cryptocurrency known as Tezos has been the shining star of the altcoin market over the last two months, rising over 200% in value since the start of\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/news\/\u2028whales-double-down-on-tezos-cryptocurrency-amidst-retail-driven-selloff\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"NewsBTC\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsbtc\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-27T23:00:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-02-27T20:07:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/wncen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cryptocurrency-tezos-whale-shutterstock_1622543005.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"563\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Tony &quot;El Toro&quot;
