Cryptocurrency markets have always been a place full of surprises for investors. Two important events that have attracted attention in recent days have once again revealed the dynamics of the markets and the movements of large investors. First, it was reported that an investor took action to buy the meme coin $HIPPO by withdrawing a large amount of $SUI from the Binance exchange. Second, the transactions carried out by a large whale on $EIGEN caused a significant loss in the crypto world.
Transition from $SUI to $HIPPO: Bought 12 million meme coins
In a post made by Lookonchain, it was stated that an investor who withdrew 114,680 $SUI (approximately 200,000 USD) from Binance bought 12 million $HIPPO with this amount. It was noted that the transaction took place approximately 45 minutes after the transaction, and the price of $HIPPO was $0.01662. This situation once again showed how fast and with great steps investors can move in the market.
The motivations behind such large withdrawals are often linked to investors’ ability to predict market trends. A particular token, such as $SUI, may be considered a significant potential gain by an investor and therefore cashed out. In addition, the low price of the meme coin $HIPPO may have encouraged investors to buy the asset. However, it should be noted that such large purchases are usually influential on the market and can lead to price fluctuations.
Whale in the spotlight with EIGEN loss
Another significant development was the crypto whale’s transactions in the $EIGEN token. Lookonchain announced that a whale holding $3.37 trillion $PEPE (approximately $31.44 million) suffered a major loss in $EIGEN. On October 3 and October 4, this whale spent $1,360 ETH (approximately $3.24 million) to buy $909,000 EIGEN at $3.56. However, a few days later, he was forced to sell $772,000 EIGEN for $988.5 ETH (approximately $2.39 million), making the sale price $3.1.
In this case, the whale has lost a total of $407,000. Currently holding $139,800 EIGEN, this investor is forced to accept that he has suffered a huge loss due to the market fluctuations. Such losses by whales show how volatile the cryptocurrency markets are. While big investors can often determine the direction of the market, they can also face big losses. As a result, the cryptocurrency market has a constantly changing structure and investors should be aware of these dynamics. The examples of $SUI, meme coin HIPPO and $EIGEN prove once again how important whale movements and market trends are.
