According to experts, a massive $1.3 billion worth of USDC was transferred to Coinbase from big investor accounts, suggesting a bullish sign for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Crypto trader Blockchain Mane said, “USDC moving onto exchanges is a giant buy signal, as the saying goes on the internet ‘money printer go brr.”
These transfers, ranging from $150 million to $350 million, happened on April 25 at 08:15 UTC, as per Etherscan data.
When huge amounts of stablecoins like USDC go to exchanges, traders see it as a positive sign, indicating potential big purchases soon. Conversely, large crypto deposits could mean a possible sell-off, making traders cautious.
Lark Davis, also known as “The Crypto Lark,” commented, “If this is indeed a whale buying and at current prices then yes, it can have a big impact on the price of the asset they are buying, which at that level is almost certainly only Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
Davis elaborated that whales might opt for limit orders instead of immediate purchases, essentially creating a safety net for the assets they favor. But he cautioned against banking on these transfers to dictate market trends definitively.
On the flip side, Crypto trader & Youtuber Brian Jung stated, “If this amount were deployed into a single altcoin with a $100M market cap, it would absolutely spike the price, but I can’t imagine any whale in their right mind doing this as it would make it nearly impossible for them to be profitable by doing so.”
