Crypto analyst Ali said in a post on X that whale positioning diverged across major assets over the past week while the broader crypto market traded sideways. The data showed that Bitcoin whales cut their holdings by about 30,000 BTC, valued at roughly $2.52 billion, pointing to lower exposure among large holders. Ethereum moved in the opposite direction, with whales adding around 60,000 ETH over the same period, worth about $162 million. XRP, by contrast, showed little change. Whale holdings in the token remained near 3.9 billion XRP during the past week, with no clear increase or decrease. Ali said the market is currently showing a split pattern: Bitcoin whales are reducing positions, Ethereum whales are accumulating, and XRP whales are staying on the sidelines. The figures highlight a clear divergence in whale behavior across the three assets during a week when the overall market saw limited price movement.
