  • PEPE added 6% in value as it continued a bull trend.

Pepe whale move assets off exchange

Lookonchain data has unveiled an intriguing development concerning one of the Pepe whales. On 5 July, the whale executed a substantial maneuver by withdrawing 2 trillion PEPE tokens from Binance, amounting to an approximate value of $3.28 million.

The same whale had previously withdrawn 1.93 trillion tokens, valued at around $3 million, from the same exchange in June. Presently, the whale’s addresses hold a total of 3.94 trillion PEPE tokens, equating to an estimated worth of $6.45 million as of the time of writing. 

This whale’s recent actions raise curiosity about its potential impact on the token’s trajectory.

An analysis of the inflow and outflow

A thorough examination of the PEPE flow on Santiment has revealed the profound impact of the whale’s move on 5 July. According to the Santiment outflow chart, the exchange outflow volume on that day reached nearly 3 trillion. This outflow volume stood as the second highest in July thus far, with a surge of over 6 trillion on July 3rd. As of this writing, the outflow volume hovered around 15.8 billion.

Conversely, when observing the exchange inflow, there appeared to be a relatively lower volume during the same period. On 5 July, the volume amounted to approximately 779 billion. As of this writing, the exchange inflow volume was around 355 billion, indicating a higher influx than outflow. 

PEPE’s current circulating supply

Analyzing the current whale movement and transaction volume, a closer examination of the circulating supply provided insights into the potential impact. Coin Market Cap

data revealed that the current circulating supply of the asset exceeded 391 trillion.

Furthermore, considering the volume within the last 242 hours, it fell within the range of approximately 16% to 20%. This suggested that while the whale move was noteworthy, it did not substantially impact the overall trade volume of PEPE.
