Analysis firm: Big whales reduced the assets of these 3 altcoins on the exchanges!
cryptokoin.com As you follow from , the market is looking for new catalysts as the spot Ethereum ETF excitement subsides. This calmness also increases the selling pressure on cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency analytics platform Santiment tracks holdings of major exchange wallets for different assets to gauge selling pressure on tokens and any random impact on price. Santiment found that since May 27, the top 10 whale addresses have reduced their holdings of Shiba Inu (SHIB), Chainlink (LINK), and Ethereum (ETH) on exchanges.
In this context, Santiment recorded a 2.4% decline in SHIB holdings, 2.9% in LINK and 8.6% in Ether holdings in the ten largest wallets. In his post on this issue, Santiment also explained what the decrease in stock market supply means. In this context, he stated that it “should be seen as a good sign for bullish traders.”
What does SHIB mean for LINK and ETH?
Data from the on-chain data tracker shows that SHIB supply on exchanges is at its lowest level since March 2021. This means there are fewer tokens to be sold. Experts see this as a sign that the selling pressure on the altcoin is easing. Therefore, it is possible that this development will have a positive impact on the SHIB price.
Chainlink has added 5% to its supply on exchanges since the beginning of 2024. However, over the last four days, LINK supply has decreased by almost half a million compared to the local peak of 211.19 million observed on June 11.
Ethereum supply on exchanges has reached its highest level in nearly 22 months. Therefore, the decrease in ETH assets in exchange wallets tracked by Santiment may not have a significant impact on the price of Ether.
Meanwhile, at the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.0000209, down 0.83% on a daily basis. LINK also suffered a similar loss, falling to $14.99. On the other hand, the leading altcoin Ethereum turned the decline into an increase. At the time of writing, ETH has gained nearly 4% to $3,564 on its daily chart. However, it is still in the red zone by over 3% on its weekly chart.
