Whale activity is drawing as much attention as price movements in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin, which surged above $80,000 last week, has since retreated to around $78,000. Volatility across altcoins is also influencing investor risk appetite, while transactions involving whale wallets holding $BTC and other tokens continue to attract scrutiny.
