A large capital flow worth noting has appeared in the cryptocurrency market over the past week. A leading exchange transferred another $148.48 million in stablecoins to Kraken within the last 7 hours, marking the latest in a series of operations since October 15th — with a total amount reaching $844.8 million.

During the same period, things became even more interesting. Tracking wallet DTQK7G revealed that $135 million in USDC is flowing from Kraken to Circle. What does this mean? On one side, whales are aggressively accumulating stablecoins on exchanges; on the other side, large funds are moving across platforms.

On-chain data suggests two possible signals: either big players are preparing for large upcoming trades (possibly bearish), or they are engaging in cross-platform arbitrage or rebalancing. In any case, the dual flow of $148.48 million and $135 million USDC reminds us that whales often lead the market with their moves.

Whales are up to something again. Is this move to crash the market or to buy the dip? Something feels off, this transfer frequency... it seems like a big move is coming. $840 million is just sitting there. They must really look down on the current price. The flow of USDC to Circle is interesting. Are they planning to liquidate or just move it somewhere else to hoard? Ladies, is this operation a signal? Just follow the whales' buy and sell actions, right? This bidirectional flow has got me a bit confused. Can someone translate what the whales are really trying to do? I've been saying it for a while—looking at on-chain data is always accurate. They've already prepared, and we're still guessing.

Whales are causing trouble again. This move doesn't seem simple at all. Really? 1.35 billion USDC directly transferred to Circle. What are they up to? The bearish signals are strong. I'll just wait and see. Accumulating coins so aggressively, I need to catch up with the rhythm quickly. This wave of capital flow feels like a turning point is coming.

Whales are starting to stir again, something feels off about this rhythm. This move is quite interesting... Sending stablecoins to exchanges while transferring large amounts of USDC, what are they trying to do? The bearish sentiment is quite strong; we need to keep a close eye on this. 1.35 billion USDC fleeing, we've seen through them long ago. Arbitrage or dumping, only the whales know, right? With such frantic movement of funds, is the bottom coming? Every time this happens, it's never a good sign. 840 million stablecoins... waiting to see the show.
