This week in the cryptocurrency space saw significant activity from large wallets that moved massive sums of assets, notably impacting the market.
Major Whale Transactions
From June 8 to June 13, 2025, numerous large transactions occurred that affected market sentiment. Below is a table detailing the major whale movements during this period:
| **Date** | **Asset** | **Quantity** | **Approx. USD Value** | **Note** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | June 8, 2025 | BTC | 250 BTC | $17.5 million | Dormant whale reactivated, adding to holdings. | | June 9, 2025 | USDT | 1,000,000,000 USDT (mint) | $1 billion | Tether minted 1 billion USDT on Tron (liquidity boost). | | June 9, 2025 | ETH | 23,075 ETH | $57.6 million | Transferred to Binance exchange (sell signal). | | June 10, 2025 | BTC | 5,637 BTC | $620.8 million | Large transfer between unknown wallets. | | June 11, 2025 | BTC | 307.5 BTC | $33.8 million | Withdrawn from Binance to cold storage (accumulation). | | June 12, 2025 | BTC | 3,165 BTC | $347 million | Moved to Coinbase exchange (potential sell-off). | | June 13, 2025 | ETH | 86,430 ETH | $237 million | Sent to liquid-staking platform (holding for yield). | | June 13, 2025 | PEPE | 609 billion PEPE | $6.43 million | Deposited to Binance (likely sell pressure). | | June 13, 2025 | ETH | 48,825 ETH | $127 million | Whale buy on exchanges (post-crash accumulation). | | June 13, 2025 | BNB | 5,000 BNB | $3 million | Sent to Binance hot wallet (pre-sell signal).
BTC Whale Transactions
On June 8, a previously dormant crypto whale came back to life by purchasing 250 BTC (about $17.5 million), viewed as a bullish signal. On June 10 and 11, larger flows were noted, with a transfer of 5,637 BTC ($620.8 million) recorded between unknown wallets. Analysts speculated heavily on this transfer, which coincided with a major withdrawal of 307.5 BTC ($33.8 million) from Binance to cold storage the following day. Moving BTC off exchanges typically reduces available sell liquidity and is often interpreted as an indication of bullish accumulation. This action reportedly increased BTC/USDT trading volume on Binance by 8%, suggesting active buying among traders.
ETH and Altcoin Whale Transactions
Ethereum also saw notable whale activity this week. On June 9, a transfer of 23,075 ETH (approximately $57.5 million) occurred from an unknown wallet to Binance, creating speculation about a potential sell-off. On June 13, following a price dip, significant whale buying occurred as one whale connected to ConsenSys purchased 2,825 ETH ($7.5 million), providing some stability after a price decrease. Additionally, that day, 86,430 ETH ($237 million) was sent to a liquid staking platform, interpreted as a bullish sign for maintaining liquidity while earning network rewards.
This week featured several significant crypto whale transactions in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins, causing price fluctuations and shifts in sentiment. Active purchases by whales along with the influx of liquid supply through fresh mints contributed to market stabilization, while substantial deposits into altcoins indicated potential sell signals. The behavior of whales remains an essential indicator for assessing future market movements.
