It was known that whales had been accumulating Pepe Coin for over a month. This situation allowed the PEPE price to refresh its ATH for days. According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, wallet addresses with assets over $100,000 have increased their Pepe Coin holdings, and it is known that 100% of PEPE investors are currently in profit. PEPE price reached an all-time high of $0.00001156 in the past hours but then experienced a slight pullback.
Whales’ PEPE Coin Accumulation
Lookonchain, one of the well-known on-chain platforms, reported that a whale purchased 520 billion Pepe Coin on May 15, indicating more upward speculation in the PEPE price. The whale made a purchase of PEPE worth $5.28 million from the crypto exchange Binance.
It was also noted that the whale is not a trader and has been acquiring tokens for a long time. The number of tokens purchased so far is 10, and these tokens have not been sold. Lookonchain mentioned that this whale continues its transactions with a net loss of $6.1 million, with only 5 tokens being in the profitable zone with a 50% gain rate.
On the other hand, a wallet address associated with BlockTower Capital purchased 202 billion PEPE worth $2.2 million through the crypto trading firm Cumberland. It should also be noted that BlockTower Capital’s main hedge fund was partially siphoned off by fraudsters.
Despite Pepe Coin reaching its all-time high price, it was observed that it hosted large purchases from investors. Data provided by IntoTheBlock reflects that 100% of PEPE investors are in profit, raising questions about whether whales might start selling.
