Crypto Glossary

Whale

A whale is an individual or entity holding a very large amount of a cryptocurrency — enough that their buys or sells can move the market. Traders track whale wallets on-chain for clues about sentiment, though large holders can also be exchanges, funds or project treasuries rather than single investors.
