It means a bigger share of coins coming onto the exchange are coming from very large wallets. Market observers often see that as a sign that major players are preparing to act.<\/p>\n<p>They may be readying to sell. They may be moving coins to hedge or to trade into other tokens. The point is their behavior now carries more weight than before.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/EYeYsNmR\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"947\"><\/p>\n<h2>Who Is Moving Coins<\/h2>\n<p>Reports have disclosed that one large wallet tied to Garrett Jin, nicknamed the \u201cHyperunit whale,\u201d moved nearly 10,000 BTC toward Binance around the same time other big transfers appeared.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple independent addresses also sent large sums, which suggests this was not a one-off event by a single actor.
