The listing of Bitcoin Cash on the institutional trading platform EDX Markets helped the price reach its 2023 peak of $329 in late June. Whales, who halted their trading activities for about a month, now seem to be active again. According to data from Santiment, BCH recorded its highest Whale Transaction Count since mid-July on Monday.
The graph below shows that BCH reached 267 Whale Transactions on August 7. Interestingly, the last time Bitcoin Cash had such whale trading activity was about a month ago on July 14.
