Dogecoin whales transfer massive amounts amidst crypto crash

TL;DR

  • Dogecoin whales activate amidst 19.4% market crash.
  • Robinhood holds 30% of all circulating Dogecoin.
  • Major DOGE transfers coincide with a sharp price decline.

Millions of Dogecoins (DOGE) were transferred in large volumes in the last 24 hours. These cashouts coincided with the sharp decline of DOGE’s market value, which dropped by 19.4%. This has caused the ensuing analysis of the activities of large players or “whales.” Frequent transfers involving a significant amount of DOGE are tracked and examined by the community as they try to make sense of the situation.

Massive Dogecoin transfer reflects market dynamics and investors’ sentiments  

WhaleAlert, a system of blockchain monitoring, pointed out an impressive number of transactions involving large sums of DOGE. The withdrawals involved two major transactions from Robinhood for a combined figure of 250 million DOGE as well as a sizeable deposit back into the platform of 74 million DOGE total. These movements of the stocks under their jurisdiction depict the edge of an exciting change, probably caused by the stressful market situation now.

The first transfer of DOGE took 150 million tokens worth $26 million and moved from the network of Robinhood to some unknown wallet. The follow up transfer came a couple of weeks later, this time for another 100 million DOGE. Another entity that is bucking the trend is Robinhood depositing a total of 920,700,260 DOGE, which is roughly $12.6 million, to its account.

The bulk of this heavy flow of funds was transacted on a DOGE market, the last trades of which are assumed to be the ones with the lowest demand. Along with other consecutive downs of the same market, which is generally known for the hazardous and inconstant price levels, this decline has happened.

A burgeoning flow of DOGE from Robinhood to somewhere else may signal digital currency holders might be trying to control their investments in order to feel secure with every bit of price decrease. 

By contrast, the case of DOGE pocketed by Robinhood might be an alternative strategy by some other investors to market positioning for the long hold period or a favorable time entering the market again for sell-offsWhen it comes to the involvement of the Robinhood company into these deals, especially, this is the case in point. The platform is the top destination for DOGE in the crypto space, and at least 30% of the currency’s total supply is also a courtesy of this service. This role corroborates the critical role DOGE has in the crypto market while its potential effect on the stability and liquidity of the former are hardly to miss.

The sale and purchase spree for Dogecoin as of late has highlighted the risky extremities that cryptocurrency markets can take. Big players, or Tusks, hence, can be the ones to determine the course in which DOGE and others will pave their way, with their trade movements. 

Since the industry remains dynamic and unpredictable in moving from turbulence to calm, the decisions of private platforms such as Robinhood and traders of big-cap funds will play a significant role in knowing what the future presents in the cryptosphere.
