Despite Bitcoin’s significant upside trend in the past month, not everything is as green as it seems. According to data from crypto analytics firm, Glassnode, Bitcoin whales, which reached a significant peak in 2021, have plummeted to lows last seen in 2019. Wallets holding a total amount of nothing less than 10,000 Bitcoin, currently worth $2.4 million, reached a low of 2,027 on February 19, a figure close to the one recorde in August 2019. The number of Bitcoin whales reached an all-time high of nearly 2,500 in 2021 amid the bull season and has dropped gradually ever since. The reason behind the gradual decline is still unclear as some can be traced to whales turning mega whales or whales taking profit and moving on from the crypto market. Mega Whales And Shrimps On The Rise? While Bitcoin whales decreased, other investors, such as mega whales and shrimps, rose. Mega whales holding at least 10,000 BTC worth $247 million at the current price have surged. Bitcoin records 117 mega whales, a figure close to the historical highs of 123 seen in November 2022 and 126 recorded in October 2018.
