Bitcoin remains a dominant player. Recent whale activity indicates that major investors are increasing their stake in the asset. Whales have been adding substantial amounts of Bitcoin even in the face of some withdrawals from institutional investors, indicating their strong belief in the long-term value of the cryptocurrency. 

Three large whales have amassed about 2,814 BTC, or roughly $157 million, from Binance since Sept. 1, according to on-chain data. At approximately $55,887 per Bitcoin the average accumulation price is found. Despite price fluctuations, the addresses involved in these transactions demonstrate massive whale interest in the asset.
