A major cryptocurrency holder made a significant move today, liquidating 404 BTC to accumulate approximately $37.94 million worth of ETH.

This substantial shift from Bitcoin to Ethereum holdings reflects notable positioning changes among large-cap traders, signaling continued interest in Ethereum's market potential amid evolving portfolio strategies.

Is this big player's move a bet on ETH or just pure arbitrage? Dropping 686 BTC, that's a significant wager.

Big whales are starting to dump BTC and accumulate ETH again, this rhythm... a bit rushed. --- Is it bottoming out ETH or topping BTC? Which move is this guy betting on? --- 686 BTC exchanged for Ethereum. They must be very optimistic. I'm just here watching. --- Here we go again. Every time big investors rebalance their portfolios, it stirs up public opinion. So annoying. --- Wait, this guy is throwing over 64 million in ETH in just a week? Is that real? --- Got it. The big investors are saying: BTC should take a break. --- This move is a bit risky, but it does have some skill behind it. --- Just stirring things up like this, retail investors will probably follow suit again, haha. --- Watching others easily spend tens of millions, but I only have a few hundred USDT. The gap is huge. --- Heavy ETH holdings are a bit crazy, but I really believe in this logic.

This move by the big players is really impressive. They swapped 686 BTC for ETH, indicating they are completely bullish on Ethereum.

The big whales are really betting on ETH, this shift is quite interesting... They are dumping so much BTC just to accumulate ETH, what are they really optimistic about? 486 Bitcoin exchanged for Ethereum... real gold and silver stacking up With this rhythm, it seems like the big players are quietly adjusting their positions Selling BTC to buy ETH, is it to bottom out or are they just losing confidence in Bitcoin?
