【Crypto World】An interesting phenomenon worth noting — on-chain data shows that a major wallet has recently been reallocating assets. This player withdrew 162.69 WBTC from Aave, equivalent to about $14.98 million. Instead of rushing to sell, they are gradually shifting into Ethereum. So far, they have exchanged 27.12 WBTC (about $2.5 million) into 770.6 ETH. This move from Bitcoin to Ethereum often reflects the stage-wise outlook of large funds on different assets. Is it preparing for the upcoming ETH market trend, or simply an asset allocation adjustment? On-chain data will tell.

WBTC-0,57%

ETH-1,07%

BTC-0,66%

This move by the big players is really interesting. The $14.98 million is slowly shifting towards ETH... This pace doesn't seem like a panic escape; instead, it looks more like laying the groundwork.

This move by the big players seems to be betting on ETH's momentum. 14.98 million USD is not a small amount, and gradually shifting seems to be intentional.

This move by the big players seems to be betting on ETH's prospects. Investing 15 million is no small feat. The shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum suggests that someone is optimistic about the upcoming market trend.

I'm very familiar with the routine of these big players gradually reallocating their positions. With such a small amount, they still need to buy in batches, afraid of crashing the market... However, this also indirectly shows that ETH is indeed more attractive right now, as people are tired of the BTC story.
