Significance of a Huge Transfer from and to a Cryptocurrency Exchange
In the cryptocurrency ecosystem, it’s generally believed that any huge transaction from an unknown wallet to a crypto exchange implies sell-off, and vise-versa, which is expected to either positively or negatively affect the price of the digital currency in the market.
Cryptocurrency investors and traders that hold a larger percentage of a particular digital asset are referred to as Crypto Whales, and their impacts on the prices in the market cannot be thrown under foot.
Anytime huge movement is effected in the crypto market, people tend to check the price status of their choice digital currencies, believing that there could have been high volatility of prices.
