The crypto market started this week on a sluggish note, with many coins struggling to gain traction. However, one crypto that has been particularly hard hit is Maker (MKR), which has plunged by around 10% in value, making it the biggest loser among the top 100 coins by market capitalization. So, what’s behind this steep decline?
According to reports from SpotOnChain, a prominent on-chain analysis firm, the MKR price plunge can be attributed to the actions of two major whales who have offloaded a significant amount of their MKR holdings in the past few hours.
The first whale, identified as 0x09e/0xdbb, recently deposited 1,480 MKR (worth approximately $4.23 million) to Binance at an average price of $2,856. This deposit allegedly marks the end of the whale’s first MKR trade, which yielded a substantial profit.
As per SpotOnChain’s analysis, this whale had previously withdrawn 3,201 MKR from MEXC at an average cost of only $1,760 (totaling $5.63 million) between January 2 and January 11, 2024, using two wallets (0x09e and 0xdbb). Subsequently, the whale deposited 3,192 MKR to Binance at an average price of $2,868 ($9.15 million), realizing an estimated profit of $3.54 million, or a staggering 63% return on investment after holding for four months.
The second whale, identified as 0x637, sold the remaining 350 MKR for 325.25 ETH (worth approximately $1.04 million) at an average price of $2,961 in the past hour. This transaction marks the end of the whale’s first MKR trade, which also resulted in a substantial profit.
According to SpotOnChain, this whale had initially bought 1,047 MKR using $772,000 worth of ETH and stablecoins at an average price of $737.6 between March 19 and November 13, 2023, primarily around the former date when the price was low.
The whale then sold 1,046 MKR for $2.63 million worth of ETH and stablecoins at an average price of $2,515 between May 6, 2023, and April 29, 2024. This trade resulted in an estimated profit of $1.86 million, representing a remarkable 241% return on investment after over a year of holding.
