ARB Price Jumps 3+% After Whale Purchases 1.61 Million Tokens

  • Earlier today, a whale sold 843 ETH to purchase 1.61 million ARB tokens.
  • ARB’s price climbed by more than 3% throughout the past day, bringing its trading value up to $0.9634.
  • Exciting Arbitrum projects like Orbit, Arbswap, and Badger could be one of the factors attracting whale attention.

Earlier today, the on-chain analytics platform, Lookonchain, shared in an X post that a whale used Ethereum (ETH) tokens to stock up on Arbitrum (ARB). According to the post, the whale spent 843 ETH, worth about $1.5 million, to purchase 1.61 million ARB at $0.95.

This whale has been supporting ARB for about a week now as Lookonchain’s data indicates that it has been providing liquidity on ARB since 23 October to earn trading fees. It is possible that this whale’s support could have in part contributed to ARB’s price increase throughout the past 24 hours.

Data from CoinMarketCap indicated that ARB’s price jumped by 3.12% since yesterday. This meant that the altcoin was trading hands at $0.9634 after it was able to set a high price of $0.9809.

ARB also recorded a 50.92% increase in its 24-hour trading volume, which caused it to rise to $259,334,743. The token’s market cap also ended up jumping to $1,230,439,798, which ranked ARB as the 41st largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization.

It is very likely that ARB is attracting the attention of whales because of its efforts to make itself more compatible and flexible. Arbitrum has recently introduced a new layer three solution called Orbit, which will empower developers to deploy software written in languages such as C++ and Rust.

Other Arbitrum projects like 3xcalibur and Arbswap could also be catching the attention of whales. 3xcalibur serves as a liquidity marketplace on Ethereum, utilizing the Tri-AMM architecture to facilitate stable swaps, variable swaps, and the lending/borrowing of ERC-20 tokens. 

Arbswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that is optimized for gaming finance. Another Arbitrum project to take note of is Badger, which is a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform with the goal of bridging Bitcoin to Ethereum and other blockchains.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders.
