While notable events have always created excitement in the world of cryptocurrencies, a recent unexpected move has sparked a great flurry of speculation and intrigue. Surprisingly, a whale pulled 1.93 trillion PEPE tokens from Binance just 11 hours ago, equivalent to $3.03 million.
This event made a significant impact in the cryptocurrency community and sparked a lot of controversy. First, prior to this massive uptake, the whale dumped about 97,735 LINK and 9,883 BNB. When the transactions are examined in detail, the investor with deep pockets suffered a loss of approximately 342,000 dollars in this process. This shows that the investor deliberately shifted these positions to buy PEPE and also added 227 ETH ($424,000) to his portfolio.
After the meme coin hit an all-time high, it took a drastic drop. However, the token has recently recovered as much as 70% from its local low. A large purchase of PEPE tokens by Whale could signal a potential long-term investment strategy. Long-term investors can aim to take advantage of the token’s future value increase with a buy-bottom strategy. It seems that the investor took advantage of the low price of PEPE to buy a significant amount of meme coins from the bottom.
However, although PEPE has seen some gains recently, it is still 66% lower than its all-time high. Despite this, the whale’s significant investment could instill new confidence in the token.
On top of that, this massive withdrawal and purchase by the whale still remains a major topic of discussion within the cryptocurrency community. Some people think that the whale is acting with manipulative intent, while others argue that this is an event that occurs within normal market dynamics.
