Despite the recent dips in the cryptocurrency market, several cryptocurrency whales have invested in the two largest cryptocurrencies by market cap and these altcoin projects! So, what are these projects? Experts explained…
Leading cryptocurrency whales are using a new strategy!
Popular cryptocurrency whales have invested massive amounts of ETH and Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) into decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to secure long positions, according to data from On-Chain data analytics platform Lookonchain. Using DeFi protocols, the investor made both ETH and WBTC investments and in return bought large amounts of Stablecoins. These stablecoins were then transferred to the popular cryptocurrency exchange Binance and used to buy more ETH and BTC.

In one particular example, the person deposited a total of 10,100 ETH (worth $18.81 million) in Morpho AAVE, a DeFi protocol, in the last 24 hours. They then borrowed $11.5 million worth of stablecoins, which were then transferred to Binance. It’s unclear how much WBTC was involved in the transactions, but tweets from Lookonchain suggest a substantial amount. on the other hand cryptocoin.comAs we reported, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) lost 8 percent and 10 percent, respectively, last week.
