BTC whales trim holdings as ETH whales accumulate, Ali Martinez says

Major cryptocurrency whales have taken diverging positions over the past week as the broader market moved largely sideways, according to trader Ali Martinez on X. Martinez said BTC whale holdings fell by around 30,000 BTC ($2.52 billion), while ETH whales accumulated about 60,000 ETH ($162 million). XRP whale holdings showed little change at around 3.9 billion XRP, Martinez said, adding BTC whales were reducing exposure, ETH whales were buying, and XRP whales were largely staying on the sidelines as the market looked for its next direction.
