Whales and Institutions Load Up on MKR Amid Market Decline

Apr 11, 2024 at 08:20 am

Amidst a recent downturn in the value of MKR, on-chain data reveals that whales and institutions are actively accumulating the governance token of the Maker Protocol. Over the past week, 13 fresh wallets have withdrawn a substantial amount of MKR from Binance, totaling 13,560 tokens valued at $47.8 million, indicating a surge in accumulation activity during the dip.

Whales and Institutions Accumulate MKR Amidst Downturn

Over the past week, the governance token of the Maker Protocol, MKR, has experienced a significant decline in value, dropping by approximately 8%. On the weekly chart, the decline extends to 13%.

Despite this bearish trend, on-chain data analysis from Spotonchain, a leading platform for tracking blockchain activity, reveals a contrasting development: whales and institutional investors are actively accumulating MKR during this dip.

According to Spotonchain's reports, the past week has witnessed a notable surge in accumulation activity involving MKR. Thirteen newly created wallets have withdrawn a substantial amount of the token from Binance, totaling 13,560 MKR valued at $47.8 million.

Within the last 12 hours alone, 8,875 MKR, equivalent to $30.8 million, was withdrawn from the same exchange. Notably, the transactions were made from a wallet address likely affiliated with Anchorage Digital, a leading digital asset custody provider.

Interestingly, all sixteen wallets that received MKR funds also received Ethereum from the same wallet address, raising the possibility that these wallets belong to a single entity or are coordinated in their accumulation efforts.

Additionally, three other wallets have initiated test withdrawals of 0.0055 MKR each, potentially signaling their intent to withdraw larger amounts in the near future.

These accumulation activities indicate underlying confidence in the long-term prospects of the Maker Protocol, despite the recent decline in MKR's value. The influx of institutional interest during this market downturn may be a testament to the perceived potential of MKR as a long-term investment.
