Bitcoin<\/a>‘s halving is less than three weeks away, and the anticipation of the massive price increase that is widely expected throughout the crypto market has potentially led to a sharp increase in the number of whales accumulating the first-ever cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Data shows<\/a> that this occurred heavily ahead of Bitcoin<\/a>‘s last bull run, with an increase of high-value Bitcoin whales taking positions following the asset’s halving.<\/p>\n

And with Bitcoin’s next halving less than three weeks away, data shows another uptick in whales accumulating Bitcoin, reaching a level not seen since December 2017.<\/p>\n
