🐳💸 Whales Go Rogue: Crypto Chaos Ensues! 🚨

by

And so, the universe’s most inexplicable creatures – no, not dolphins, but crypto whales – decided to play a rousing game of “Market Limbo” over the weekend. The rules? Deposit a gargantuan chunk of Ethereum altcoin to Binance and OKX, and watch as the price plummets 50% in a thrilling display of financial acrobatics! 🤹‍♂️

According to the omniscient blockchain sleuths at Lookonchain, these deep-pocketed traders (read: crypto wizards with an affinity for chaos) have been wielding their influence over the Bounce (AUCTION) market like a, well, like a whale-sized wrecking ball, causing price swings that would put a theme park to shame. 🎠

For the uninitiated, Bounce Finance is a decentralized auction platform where you can bid on all manner of fascinating things, like tokenized physical assets and NFTs (because who doesn’t want a digital image of a cat?). AUCTION tokens, naturally, are the lifeblood of this operation, used for governance, staking, and fees – all the usual crypto jazz. 🎵

Now, here’s where things get really interesting (or alarming, depending on your portfolio). Lookonchain revealed that, in a span of mere days, whales casually sent over 14% of the circulating AUCTION supply to Binance (the crypto exchange behemoth) and OKX. One can only assume the subsequent coin sell-off was the crypto equivalent of a stampede, leaving prices in tatters. 🐴

As Lookonchain so eloquently put it (with a hint of “we told you so”):

“AUCTION Whales deposited 1.08 million AUCTION ($48.6 million, 14.26% of the total supply) into Binance and OKX again, causing the price to plummet by 50%. Pay attention to price changes.” (Translated: “Don’t say we didn’t warn you…”) 😏

At the time of writing, AUCTION is still nursing its wounds, trading at $20.93 with a market cap of $137 million, proudly holding the 363rd spot in the crypto asset rankings – a tale of survival in the wild west of cryptocurrency. 🤠
