The number of Bitcoin whales has hit 18,000 after a sudden increase in the last few days. A Bitcoin whale, in this instance, refers to the number of accounts with more than $1 million of Bitcoin.
According to data provider Glassnode, the 40% surge coincided with the recent boost in the price of BitcoinBitcoin. After flatlining in the low $9,000s for weeks, Bitcoin’s price suddenly broke $10,000—and then $11,000—in a matter of days.

Since this is based on blockchainblockchain data, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there are now 16,000 Bitcoin millionaires. It just refers to the number of accounts that contain at least $1 million worth of Bitcoin, whether they are exchange accounts (looking after other people’s money) or multiple accounts owned by the same people.
The price action is the main reason behind the increase. Since it’s a measure of the amount of fiat value in these Bitcoin addresses, when the price went up, it nudged many addresses into the $1 million mark.
For the first time since January, more Bitcoin is flowing into crypto exchanges than is flowing out of them, according to data from a new report from Glassnode. Using data up until July 19, Glassnode found that more Bitcoin has entered exchanges this month than has left it. This bucks the trend of more Bitcoin leaving exchanges than entering it. That the trend is reversing is significant: In March, the month of the coronavirus-inspired market crash that cut the price of Bitcoin almost in half,...
This follows a trend reversal in the movement of funds to and from exchanges. As Decrypt reported last week, the trend switched as more Bitcoin started heading back into exchanges, rather than moving away from them.
Typically this is seen as a bearish sign, suggesting more traders might be wanting to sell. But for the price to jump up $2,000 in two days, someone has to be buying.
Former UFC star Ben Askren had been out of the hospital for less than a day before he promoted an apparent crypto scam—a Solana meme coin that “rug pulled” its investors only hours after it launched. The token—dubbed “FUNKY,” Askren’s nickname in both wrestling and professional mixed martial arts—appeared to come as part of a paid promotion through notorious celebrity coin creator Sahil Arora, who has made a name for himself through similar schemes. Since late May, Askren has been battling a se...
A Bitcoin whale on Thursday moved its $469 million crypto fortune after holding it for more than 14 long years, blockchain data shows. The investor—which could be a person or a company—loaded up on Bitcoin back in 2011, data from Arkham Intelligence shows. It then sat virtually unmoved, apart from some tiny transactions, until Thursday morning Eastern Time, when over 3,962.6 BTC was transferred to a new wallet. The latest address had no previous movements, and had not been tagged as an exchang...
After XRP hit a new all-time high earlier this week, the CEO of Ripple warned of scams targeting users of the cryptocurrency. XRP touched $3.65 earlier this week before retreating sharply, logging a 15% pullback over three days, according to data from CoinGecko. Trading volumes remain elevated, with more than $17.4 billion in XRP changing hands over the past 24 hours. Like clockwork, with success and market rallies, scammers ramp up their attacks on the crypto community -- PLEASE BEWARE of the...
