Today, a Major Chinese Crypto Whale Made Significant Changes to His Positions!

Garrett Jin, a major cryptocurrency investor, closed his entire long position of 1,331 BTC, held for about 3.5 months. This position, valued at approximately $107 million, yielded a profit of $1.02 million. After closing the BTC position, the investor's portfolio now consists solely of a heavily losing short position on Zcash (ZEC). Data shows unrealized losses of around $24 million (approximately $47 million equivalent) on this short position of 39,760 ZEC. Notably, the investor increased this losing ZEC short position even as ZEC's price rose during the day. He chose to fully close the profitable BTC position while retaining the unprofitable ZEC position. ZEC has been one of the most discussed altcoins recently, with privacy-focused cryptocurrencies being particularly prominent in the sector.

Today a major crypto whale from China made significant changes to their positions!

A major cryptocurrency player from China, known as Garrett Jin, has made significant changes to his positions. He completely closed his long position of 1,331 BTC, which he had held for about 3.5 months. This position, worth approximately $107 million, resulted in a profit of $1.02 million. After closing the BTC position, the investor is left only with a heavily loss-making short position on Zcash (ZEC).

Has Satoshi Returned? Over 600 Bitcoin Over 16 Years Old Suddenly Moved

More than 600 bitcoins worth approximately $48 million, which had been dormant on addresses for over 16 years, were recently moved, sparking speculation about a potential connection to Bitcoin's mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. According to on-chain platform Whale Alert, 12 addresses containing 600 BTC—all mining rewards from March 2010—became active on September 5th. The platform stated its investigation found no links between these blocks and Nakamoto, reducing panic. The coins were mined when the block reward was 50 BTC, before four subsequent halvings. The movement attracted attention partly because it dates to the period when Nakamoto was still actively involved in Bitcoin's development. Whale Alert noted one transaction occurred several blocks earlier, likely a test. Lookonchain also reported similar activity involving 350 BTC from seven other inactive addresses. From a data analysis perspective, this event fits a broader trend: a significant volume of long-inactive bitcoins, valued at $104 billion, has changed hands in 2024-2025, a phenomenon some call the "great distribution." A technical note: some 2010-era coins are stored in outdated pay-to-public-key (P2PK) formats, making the public key visible and theoretically vulnerable to future quantum computing attacks, raising questions about how many of these ancient coins will be moved before such technology emerges.

A new altcoin has entered the top ten cryptocurrencies! Today's surge triggered a wave of liquidations

Zcash ($ZEC) surged by approximately 15% in the past 24 hours, reaching $1,170, and became the focal point for market liquidations. According to CoinGlass, total cryptocurrency liquidations over this period amounted to roughly $212 million, with about $156 million from short positions. $ZEC led with liquidations of around $45.32 million, followed by Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin ($BTC), and Arbitrum (ARB). This price spike also propelled $ZEC into the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The rally inflicted significant losses on a major short position held by trader Garrett Bullyish (aka "October 10 whale") on Hyperliquid. He held a 2x leveraged short of 32,759.57 $ZEC (~$38.18 million) with an average entry price of $444 and a liquidation price of $2,566, resulting in an unrealized loss of approximately $23.57 million. Concurrently, the same trader held a long position of 1,331.88 $BTC, which generated an unrealized profit of about $3.6 million. *This is not investment advice.

Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Wakes Up After 16 Years: 600 BTC Moved

Bitcoins mined in 2010, totaling 600 BTC worth approximately $48 million, were moved from long-dormant addresses after over 16 years of inactivity, sparking speculation about a potential link to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. On-chain analysis tracked the coins to mining rewards from 12 blocks processed in March 2010, when the block subsidy was 50 BTC. Blockchain tracking platform Whale Alert stated its investigation found no connection between these specific blocks and Nakamoto, dampening the speculation. The movement is notable because the coins originate from the period when Nakamoto was still actively involved in Bitcoin's development. Whale Alert suggested one of the transfers may have been a test transaction before the bulk of the coins were moved.

Dogecoin (DOGE) Printed a Buy Signal: The Uptrend Could Be Loading

Dogecoin (DOGE), the original meme coin, is showing potential signs of a trend reversal. After reaching $0.1007 on August 22, it retraced over 17% but is currently up over 3%, trading around $0.08318. Technical indicators suggest a shift in momentum. The Tom DeMark Sequential has flashed a buy signal, and a bullish "morning doji star" pattern has formed on the daily chart, indicating the current downtrend may be ending. Furthermore, large holders have accumulated over 400 million DOGE in the past five days, showing significant buying interest. The key support level to watch is $0.0813, a major historical floor. If it holds, the bullish outlook remains, with initial upside targets at $0.1552 and then $0.1774. However, the 4-hour MACD, while showing a bullish crossover, remains below zero, signaling a recovery attempt within a broader bearish context and higher risk. The daily RSI is neutral at 51.78, indicating a market in equilibrium awaiting a clearer directional breakout. Overall, technical signals point to a potential reversal, but confirmation depends on holding the $0.0813 support and a stronger bullish momentum breakout.

Cryptoquant: Behind the Bitcoin Price Rise Was a Series of 'Whale' Purchases Totaling 60,000 BTC

Cryptoquant analyst Woo Minkyoo illustrated that throughout August, the price surge in Bitcoin was underpinned by a stark divergence in holder behavior. Addresses holding 100 or more BTC (whales) accumulated approximately 60,000 BTC (worth roughly $4.7 billion). In contrast, addresses holding 1-100 BTC sold around 33,000 BTC, and smaller wallets (holding <1 BTC) sold nearly 14,000 BTC. This indicates a net transfer of coins from smaller, likely retail, holders to large-scale investors during a period of strong price appreciation. The data shows whale accumulation intensified after Bitcoin broke out of its $62k-$65k trading range on August 19th, suggesting they bought into confirmed upward momentum. While this pattern of "weak hands selling to strong hands" is notable, it is not an unequivocally bullish signal, as whales could later distribute these coins to returning retail buyers. Nevertheless, the confidence was concentrated among the largest holders during one of Bitcoin's strongest monthly performances in nearly a decade.

Bitcoin (BTC) Changed Direction, Large Investors Became Active: These Are the Altcoins They Are Trading...

Bitcoin (BTC) recently reversed its upward trend, falling from above $80,000 to around $78,000. This shift in the leading cryptocurrency has drawn attention to the activities of major investors ("whales") in both BTC and altcoins. Key whale activity reported by Lookonchain includes: * **James Wynn** switched from a short to a long position on Bitcoin, opening a 30x leveraged long trade after closing a short position at a loss. * One investor lost $308,000 by selling 7.99 million $PONS tokens purchased for $443,000. Had they held, the position would now be worth $3.46 million. * An address (0x6436) acquired 141,442 $HYPE tokens, worth $11.88 million. * Another whale, who bought 488,599 $HYPE tokens five months ago for $17.18 million, has locked those tokens, currently holding an unrealized profit of $23.7 million. * A major player in the Ethereum market sold 167,855 ETH (worth $408 million) and still holds 97,115 ETH (worth $237 million). The article concludes by stating this is not investment advice.

Who is behind the movement of $408 million worth of ETH to exchanges?

Blockchain analysts have detected a significant movement of 167,855 ETH (worth approximately $408 million) from multiple addresses into a single wallet, which is gradually being transferred to exchanges. In just the last two days, this large holder deposited 70,739 ETH (about $174 million) into the wallet, while still holding 97,115 ETH (valued at around $237 million) that has not yet been moved. Consolidating funds from several wallets before sending them to exchanges is a typical on-chain indicator of an entity potentially preparing for a large sale, though other purposes like storage, collateral, or OTC settlements are also possible. The implied price of the moved ETH is around $2,430 per coin, aligning with pre-end-of-August trading levels, suggesting the holder accumulated this position from various sources. The scale is notable even for "whale watching," and the rapid transfer of such a large amount to exchanges in a short period indicates an active strategy. If the remaining holdings are also moved, it would roughly double the volume already sent to order books. This follows a broader 2023 trend of older, dormant Ethereum "whales" awakening and moving substantial holdings toward liquidity. Should the wallet owner proceed with a full outflow, it could become one of the largest single-wallet ETH movements of the year.

Dormant Bitcoin Wallets Awaken: Over 800 BTC Moved in August

In August 2026, at least 13 long-dormant Bitcoin wallets, inactive for 12 to over 15 years, became active and moved a total of approximately 818 BTC. With Bitcoin's price significantly higher, the collective value of these transactions exceeded $60 million at the time. The most notable transfer involved 212 BTC on August 18 from a wallet dormant for about 14 years, valued at roughly $13.66 million at transfer. On August 22, activity from several old wallets led to the movement of 282.31 BTC, including batches held since 2011. Another transfer on August 29 saw 10 BTC moved after over 15 years of inactivity, worth about $777,000. Smaller transfers ranging from 8.54 to 49.97 BTC occurred between August 1 and 18 from wallets inactive for 12 to 15 years. According to Galaxy Research, realized profits on individual wallets reached millions of dollars. For example, the owner of 40 BTC moved on August 26 after over 14 years of dormancy realized a profit of approximately $3.16 million, with the funds sent to an address linked to Boerse Stuttgart Digital. This activity follows a similar event in March, where a Bitcoin whale moved 2,100 BTC (over $147 million then) after nearly 13.7 years of inactivity.
