According to @ai_9684xtpa, a long-dormant Bitcoin whale holding 3,963 BTC for 14.5 years has sold 180 BTC, valued at approximately $21.25 million, within the past half hour. The wallet, with a historical acquisition cost of just $0.37 per BTC, has reportedly sold a total of 330 BTC (about $39.04 million) over the past week. The recent transfer was made to a market maker-associated address that has interacted with major institutions like B2C2, Galaxy, and Coinbase. These large-scale movements from early holders may increase short-term selling pressure and affect BTC liquidity, which traders should monitor closely (source: @ai_9684xtpa).

According to @EmberCN, a whale or institution has accumulated 5,774 MKR tokens, worth around $11.84 million, over the past 13 days via FalconX at an average price of $2,051 per token. This significant accumulation indicates strong institutional interest in Maker (MKR), which may influence MKR price trends and liquidity in the near term. Traders should closely monitor this address and MKR market activity for potential volatility and breakout signals. Source: @EmberCN.

According to @EmberCN, a Bitcoin whale who accumulated 3,962.6 BTC at $0.375 in January 2011 has recently awakened and started distributing holdings. After ending a 14-year dormancy, the whale transferred 450 BTC (worth approximately $53.42 million), with 150 BTC sent in batches over the past five days to Coinbase and market makers B2C2 and Wintermute. Traders should monitor increased BTC supply on exchanges, as such whale activity can trigger short-term volatility and impact BTC price direction (source: @EmberCN).

According to The Data Nerd, market maker GSR recently withdrew 2,708 ETH, valued at approximately $9.87 million, from the Binance exchange. The on-chain data shows these funds were transferred to a wallet identified as a potential storage address for GSR, which now holds a total of 103,822 ETH, worth around $378.97 million. For traders, a significant withdrawal of assets from an exchange by a major market maker like GSR can be interpreted as a bullish signal for Ethereum (ETH). This action reduces the immediately available supply on the market, potentially decreasing selling pressure and suggesting an intention to hold the asset for a longer term.

According to @lookonchain, a whale with the address 0xacef has sold their entire holding of 5,420 Maker (MKR) tokens for $11.4 million over the past five days. This transaction resulted in a realized profit of $4.8 million, marking a 74% gain on an investment made four months ago. The data shows the same whale continues to hold 524,643 Uniswap (UNI) tokens, which currently have an unrealized profit of $2.4 million, also representing a 74% gain. This divergence in strategy could signal to traders that the whale is taking profits on MKR while remaining bullish on the future price of UNI.

According to @EmberCN, a whale who accumulated Maker (MKR) and Uniswap (UNI) from February to April has completely sold their MKR position. The entity reportedly transferred 6,252 MKR to Binance since July 18th, selling at an average price of $2,060 to realize a profit of $5.29 million. This same whale continues to hold their entire position of 2.494 million UNI, which is currently showing an unrealized profit of $5.93 million.

According to @lookonchain, on-chain data shows a newly created wallet has received 3,990 Maker (MKR) tokens, valued at approximately $8.45 million, from the institutional-grade prime broker FalconX over the past five days. This significant accumulation by a fresh wallet, sourced from a major platform like FalconX, is a key indicator for traders, potentially signaling new large-scale institutional interest or a whale positioning in MKR.

According to @CrypNuevo, while Bitcoin (BTC) is in a strong uptrend, a potential warning sign is emerging on the daily timeframe. The analysis points to repeated wicks to the upside on the price chart without any actual upward price progression. @CrypNuevo suggests this pattern is a sign that market makers are accumulating short positions, indicating a potential for a downward price move despite an expected quiet market week.

According to Jesse Pollak, the creator of the Base layer-2 network, he is offering access to the @baseapp for holders of the Milady Maker NFT collection. This direct outreach to a specific and culturally significant NFT community could be a strategic move to drive user adoption and on-chain activity within the Base ecosystem. For traders, this announcement could potentially increase demand for Milady NFTs, possibly leading to a rise in their floor price, as individuals may purchase the NFTs to gain access to the Base application. This event highlights Base's strategy of engaging directly with established Web3 communities to foster growth.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, the market makers for the recently Binance-listed token Caldera ($ERA) have been identified as GSR Markets and Amber Group. On-chain analysis suggests that Amber Group received 2.5 million ERA tokens and GSR Markets received 2 million ERA tokens for market-making activities. For traders, this distribution of 4.5 million tokens to prominent market makers is a key indicator for monitoring the token's liquidity and potential price stability following its listing. The source notes that this particular airdrop, referred to as 'alpha', was valued at $250-$300 at its peak price.

According to @ai_9684xtpa, an address associated with DFG founder James Wo deposited 1,700 MKR, valued at $3.47 million, to Binance. This is part of a larger move that has seen a cumulative 3,700 MKR sent to exchanges since the previous day. The report notes that these tokens were originally acquired between March and April at an average price of $1,210. If sold at the recent deposit price of approximately $2,094, this transaction could realize a profit of $3.27 million, marking a 73% return on investment in four months. This significant deposit by a major holder could indicate potential selling pressure on the MKR market.

According to @EmberCN, a crypto whale has sold 2,831 Maker (MKR) tokens on Binance at an average price of $2,094. This transaction was inferred after the whale withdrew 5.927 million USDT from the exchange. This significant sell-off by a major holder suggests potential profit-taking and could introduce notable selling pressure on the MKR market, which traders should monitor closely.

According to @milkroad, leading crypto market makers have borrowed significant capital from Maple Finance, highlighting a growing trend of institutional players utilizing decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols for liquidity management (source: milkroad.com/daily/maple-gr).

According to Fox News, a Democratic lawmaker's anti-Trump guitar performance went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism and being labeled as 'cringe' and 'tone-deaf' by users (Fox News, June 20, 2025).

According to @AltcoinGordon, when James Wynn opens a trade, both the cabal and market makers are quick to respond, often influencing price movement and liquidity in the cryptocurrency markets (source: Twitter/@AltcoinGordon, June 2, 2025). Such reactions from major market players highlight the continued importance of monitoring large trader activity for short-term volatility and potential shifts in trading volume. For active traders, tracking influential accounts like James Wynn can provide early signals of market moves, especially in altcoin markets where liquidity is thinner and price manipulation risk is higher.

According to @AltcoinGordon, James Wynn opened another $100 million long position in Bitcoin, which was immediately met with aggressive selling by market makers, pushing BTC's price toward his liquidation level of $104,580.

According to @ThinkingUSD, all major market makers such as Jump and HRT are actively trading on the Hyperliquid platform, with some firms reportedly executing hundreds of billions in trading volume over the past 12 months (source: @ThinkingUSD, Twitter, May 30, 2025). However, Hyperliquid Protocol (HLP) volumes account for less than 2% of the total exchange volume, indicating that while institutional participation is high, the overall market share remains limited. For traders, this signals increased liquidity and potential for tighter spreads on Hyperliquid, but highlights the need to monitor market depth and volume distribution across exchanges for optimal trading strategies.

According to @ThinkingUSD on Twitter, a significant portion of revenue for crypto trading desks comes from liquidations, similar to the High Leverage Program (HLP). Many major exchanges now have specialized liquidation programs where market makers (MMs) take the opposite side of liquidated trades. However, exchanges themselves continue to profit substantially from handling liquidation flow directly. For traders, understanding the structure of these liquidation programs is crucial, as it affects liquidity, volatility, and overall trading risk. These mechanisms directly impact crypto market dynamics and should be factored into trading strategies (Source: @ThinkingUSD, May 30, 2025).

According to Cas Abbé on Twitter, a prominent Bitcoin whale trading at 40x leverage has seen their all-time PNL flip from $87 million in profit to a $1.9 million loss, highlighting the risks of high-leverage trading strategies.

According to Liquidity Doctor (@doctortraderr), a recent price action sequence showed classic market maker tactics in the crypto market. The first candle formed a bearish engulfing pattern, prompting retail traders to open short positions. Market makers then drove the price upward with the next candle, trapping these shorts and triggering liquidations (source: https://twitter.com/doctortraderr/status/1924311248738423081). Subsequently, a bullish engulfing candle encouraged retail traders to open long positions, after which market makers rapidly dumped the price, trapping new longs and causing further liquidations. This highlights the importance for traders to recognize and avoid common liquidity traps during periods of high volatility, especially when trading major cryptocurrencies.
