In general, according to crypto intelligence firm Santiment, most whales in the crypto ecosystem appear to be waiting patiently before taking massive investment decisions.

Santiment noted:

“Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether have seen plummeting whale transactions, the lowest amount of combined $100,000+ valued transactions in a year.

This isn’t necessarily bearish, but reflective of large players awaiting further war and inflation developments.”
