In the crypto world, a whale isn’t a sea creature with a wallet — it’s a large investor holding a huge amount of cryptocurrency (usually from 1,000 BTC or equivalent in ETH and other assets).
These players can:
- influence coin prices by buying or selling,
- move the market one way or another — sometimes intentionally,
- accumulate assets through OTC (over-the-counter) deals to avoid scaring the crowd on exchanges,
- and generally behave like a financial bull in a china shop.
Whales come in different types:
- Private — millionaires and billionaires long active in crypto.
- Corporate — funds, exchanges, platforms like Grayscale or ConsenSys.
- Shadow — those who stay under the radar but actively buy on the side.
A simple sign: if a person or entity can buy 10,000 ETH without blinking — you’re dealing with a whale.
