The recent decline in Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins has caused fear among some investors, leading them to distance themselves from the market. However, other investors saw the dip as a buying opportunity and ramped up their purchases.
Among these investors, whales have shown significant interest in the Ethereum (ETH)-based Maker DAO (MKR), a favorite altcoin.
According to Lookonchain, whales have purchased MKR worth $5.63 million, resulting in a price increase for MKR.
One whale has been accumulating MKR since June 27, while another whale made a $2 million MKR purchase within the day.
“We recently noticed that two smart investors have been buying MKR!
0x3737 has bought 1,465 MKR (worth $3.63 million) at an average price of $2,476 since June 27.
This whale previously bought 1,884 MKR (worth $2.18 million) at $1,157 and sold it at $1,406, making approximately $468,000 in profit.
The whale also holds 3.58T PEPE (worth $30.87 million) and has over $30 million in profit from PEPE!
0xCf9b spent 2 million USDT to purchase 777 MKR at $2,587 nine hours ago.
This whale previously bought 1,575 MKR (worth $4.53 million) at $2,879 and sold it at $3,083, making approximately $321,000 in profit.”
MKR has seen an increase of over 7% in the last 24 hours, a rise attributed not only to whale activity but also to BlackRock. BlackRock is set to participate in MakerDAO’s Tokenized Treasury Investment Program, planning to invest $1 billion in tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds.
