According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), a whale holding Ethereum at the $3409 high has transferred 3833 ETH and 12 WBTC, valued at approximately $81.81 million, to Binance just 30 minutes ago. If sold at current prices, this action would result in a total loss of $6.078 million, with $6.06 million from ETH alone as the price dropped 46% in five months ($3409 to $1828). The WBTC loss is comparatively minor at less than $20,000. Large inflows of crypto to exchanges like Binance may indicate imminent sell pressure and can signal potential increased volatility in ETH and WBTC trading pairs. Such significant whale actions are closely monitored by traders for potential short-term price impacts and liquidity shifts. (Source: https://twitter.com/ai_9684xtpa/status/1919949702499598389)

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), the total cryptocurrency market cap declined by 18.6% in Q1 2025, marking a significant downturn. Bitcoin's market dominance increased to 59.1%, reinforcing its leading position. Ethereum saw a retracement of all gains made in 2024, with its price falling from $3,336 to $1,805. Centralized exchange (CEX) spot trading volumes decreased by 16.3% quarter-on-quarter, yet Binance maintained a market share of 40.7%. The multi-chain DeFi total value locked (TVL) evaporated by $48.9 billion, a 27.5% decrease.

According to Lookonchain, a trader capitulated and sold 1,160 ETH at a significant loss of $2.6M, representing a 58.6% decrease from their initial investment. Originally withdrawn from OKX when ETH was priced at $3,816, the trader's recent deposit back to OKX at $1,580 highlights the volatile nature of cryptocurrency trading and the risks of holding assets amid market downturns.
