$BTC Holds Strong Despite Massive 80,000 Whale Sale as
$ETH Demand Surges
$BTC remains resilient after an 80,000 coin whale sale worth $9 billion was executed through Galaxy Digital on July 25.
The sale from 2011-era wallets briefly dropped
$BTC from $119,500 to $114,500 before quickly recovering above $118,000.
Institutional demand cushioned the impact as treasury companies and ETFs absorbed 115,165
$BTC during July.
Even after the whale sale, net inflows reached 35,165
$BTC for the month.
Meanwhile,
$ETH is capturing increased trader attention, with ETF inflows soaring since mid-June.
Over 1.6 million
$ETH was added to #ETFs in six weeks, more than doubling the previous 11-month total.
$ETH posted 52% monthly gains while the ETH/BTC ratio climbed from 0.023 to 0.032, its highest since January.
Perpetual futures open interest for
$ETH hit nearly 40% dominance, the highest since April 2023.
