Whale Capital Flows Shift Towards Bitcoin Amid Altcoin Overheating
Stablecoin inflows to Binance have surged by over 40% in just a month, suggesting that large investors are preparing to buy Bitcoin. Darkfost, a contributor to CryptoQuant, highlighted this trend, stating that 'whales have been gradually deploying more capital into Bitcoin recently.'
The data shows that 30-day cumulative stablecoin inflows to Binance from wallets holding $1 million or more rose from $21.7 billion in early September to $30.5 billion most recently. This increase is attributed to whales moving stablecoins worth $1 million or more onto the exchange.
Darkfost explained that stablecoins flowing onto exchanges are typically used as sidelined capital awaiting market entry, and rising inflows can be associated with buying pressure. However, he noted that compared to October last year, whale capital deployment remains cautious.
