Whale buying refers to the large-scale acquisition of digital assets by individuals or entities holding substantial amounts of capital. These “whales” are major market participants whose buying activity can significantly influence price movements due to the sheer volume of their transactions. Their accumulation often signals confidence in an asset’s future appreciation and can absorb available supply, leading to upward price pressure. Monitoring whale activity provides insights into potential market shifts.
