How do whales react to FOMC rate decisions?

Based on tracked events, FOMC meetings produce the largest average net sell among all event types. WETH is consistently sold, while stablecoins accumulate. Approval signals spike up to 10x baseline in the hours before the announcement.

What happens to whale flows during a DeFi exploit?

During major exploits, whales rotate capital into stablecoins rather than exiting crypto entirely. WETH is sold in every tracked exploit. The flow typically normalizes within 18-24 hours.

Do whales buy or sell during ETF record days?

Counter-intuitively, Ethereum whales have historically net-sold during record BTC ETF inflow days. Headlines report institutional buying while on-chain data shows whale distribution on Ethereum.
