Interestingly, luggis.eth seems to be redirecting funds towards $MKR, having acquired 1,752 $MKR ($2.62 million) from Binance in the past nine days, even incurring a floating loss. The average price for this acquisition was $1,493.
Reports reveal that this whale has been liquidating $ILV for $ETH since July 2022, consistently taking advantage of declining $ILV prices to execute these transactions.
This recent event highlights the influence of significant token holders in the crypto market, as their strategic moves can lead to considerable fluctuations in the value of specific assets. The observed pattern of selling $ILV during periods of its price downturn suggests a deliberate strategy by the whale to maximize returns. The market now observes how this dynamic unfolds in the coming days and its potential impact on Illuvium’s value.
