On-chain data shows a pattern in the stablecoin shark and whale holdings that may suggest the Bitcoin rally could make a return in the near future.<\/p>\n
According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment<\/a>, the sharks and whales of the major stablecoins<\/a> have been increasing their reserves while Bitcoin has been struggling recently.<\/p>\n The “sharks” and “whales” are two of the largest cohorts in the sector, with investors belonging to the former holding at least $100,000 and at most $1 million worth of the asset, while the latter has wallet balances in the $1 million to $10 million range.<\/p>\n Due to such large holdings, these investors can potentially move around a large number of coins at once, something that can make them influential entities in the market.<\/p>\n In the context of the current discussion, the sharks and whales of stablecoins are of interest. In particular, the four largest players in the market are of relevance here: Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Binance USD (BUSD), and Dai (DAI).<\/p>\n Santiment has used its “Supply Distribution<\/a>” metric to track the holdings of these humongous holders and this indicator tells us about the percentage of the supply that each group in the market is holding right now.<\/p>\n Here is a chart that shows the trend in this metric specifically for the sharks and whales of the top 4 stablecoins in the sector:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As displayed in the above graph, the holdings of these stablecoin sharks and whales have been on the rise recently. Interestingly, while this trend has formed, the price of Bitcoin has dipped below the $30,000 level.<\/p>\n A similar pattern in the supply held by these large investors had also formed last month, as these investors had been buying more stablecoins, while BTC had been on a decline.<\/p>\nThe metrics appear to have been going up in recent days | Source: Santiment on Twitter<\/a><\/pre>\n
