According to Cas Abbé (@cas_abbe), major crypto whales have made significant purchases during the recent market dip. Specifically, a whale acquired 10,000 ETH on Gemini, another whale bought 296,000 SOL worth $50 million and staked the entire amount, and a separate whale purchased $330 million worth of BTC across Binance and Kraken. Additionally, large institutions continue to accumulate Bitcoin. These high-volume transactions signal strong confidence among large investors and institutions, suggesting potential price stabilization or upward momentum in the near term for ETH, SOL, and BTC. Traders should monitor whale activity for entry and exit signals, as institutional accumulation often precedes significant market moves. (Source: Twitter/@cas_abbe)

According to @AltcoinGordon, Solana has seen significant institutional investments with DeFi Development Corp adding 82,000 SOL, bringing its total holdings to over 400,000 SOL (worth more than $57 million), specifically for staking and yield generation (source: AltcoinGordon on Twitter, May 7, 2025). Additionally, Strategies has secured 122,524 SOL for $18.25 million through new financing. This surge in institutional activity signals increased long-term confidence and potential upward price pressure for SOL, which could impact broader crypto market sentiment and trading strategies.

According to Lookonchain, a prominent Solana whale has unstaked 100,000 SOL, valued at $13.9 million, and transferred it to Binance. Initially staked at $27 per SOL, this whale has realized substantial profits over four years. Despite the unstake, the whale retains 1.19 million SOL, valued at $166.37 million, indicating a robust staking strategy with profits of over $153 million.

According to EmberCN, a whale or institution that staked 991,000 SOL four years ago recently withdrew 100,000 SOL, valued at $13.9M, and transferred it to Binance. Over this period, the address realized a total gain of $153.5M: $111.4M from SOL price appreciation and $42.08M from staking rewards. This significant movement indicates potential market impacts and trading opportunities.

According to Lookonchain, Galaxy Digital has recently withdrawn 606K SOL, valued at $79.7M, from exchanges and staked 462K SOL, worth $60M, over the past four days. This move indicates a strategic shift towards long-term holding and staking incentives, potentially affecting Solana's liquidity and market dynamics. Traders should monitor SOL's staking trends and liquidity changes for informed trading decisions.

According to Ai 姨, Solayer has opened its airdrop query portal, enhancing user engagement in the staking ecosystem. Notably, whale H1zFM...kcEAe staked 39,344 $SOL, valued at approximately $7.61 million, becoming the fourth largest individual staker. This significant stake highlights the competitive positioning among major $SOL holders, as the top individual staker has held 50,000 $SOL for eight months.
