Whale deposited $16.1M in HYPE to OKX and Bybit, signaling potential selling pressure following a $8.2M deposit two days ago.
Macro & Markets ·
A single wallet moved 177.52K HYPE tokens—valued at roughly $16.08M—to OKX and Bybit approximately one hour before the report, signaling preparation for a potential sale. This follows a deposit two days earlier when the same address transferred 89.05K HYPE (~$8.21M) across Binance, Kraken, OKX, and Gate. Combined, the two transfers total 266.57K HYPE worth approximately $24.29M.
The sequence of large deposits to major exchange venues over a short timeframe typically precedes liquidation. The wallet, identified as 0xc745044ae202B60d3eF5EE89A5f6738011651464, has now positioned over a quarter-million tokens on trading platforms, suggesting the holder may be exiting a material position.
It remains unclear whether these deposits will result in immediate market sales, at what price the tokens may be offered, or what the wallet's future actions will be. The timing and scale of the moves indicate significant selling pressure could materialize, though actual execution and market impact depend on order placement and market conditions.
