In a year where macro liquidity and ETF flows have grabbed headlines, the clearest undercurrent for US markets may be the position of the largest BTC wallets. Think of whale addresses as the ballast in a crowded harbor: if they’re loading cargo, prices can stabilize higher; if they’re unloading into rallies, liquidity can dry up and threaten upside. The latest on-chain research points to a nuanced tug-of-war: broad accumulation across multiple wallet cohorts coexists with pockets of distribution at the very top. This isn’t a one-note signal, but a regime with regime-dependent readouts that matter for US spot, futures, and ETF dynamics. (arxiv.org)
