Multicoin Capital transferred this altcoin to Coinbase

According to a report from on-chain data source Ember on May 26, Multicoin Capital transferred 833,332 LDOs to Coinbase. The size of the transaction was valued at approximately $1.66 million.

Multicoin Capital had purchased 10 million LDO through investment on December 7, 2020. The company’s average cost of purchase was $0.00846. Since October 16, 2022, Multicoin has sold/transferred 9,166,667 LDOs to Coinbase. It currently only has 833,333 LDOs.

Despite whale sales, individual investors continue to show interest in LDO

According to IntoTheBlock data, crypto whales have an incredible command over the entire token concentration of Lido Finance. In recent days, 87% of the supply was in the hands of the big owners.

Interestingly, this trend occurred despite more traders losing out compared to winners. An example like this might suggest that large investors find LDO extremely undervalued.

It’s also worth noting that 66% of all whales occur in the last 365 days. This was due to the negative correlation of Lido with Bitcoin price in 2022. Another factor worth mentioning is the Liquid Staking project’s contribution to activity on the Ethereum network. What’s more, Lido’s launch of its V2 is among the developments affecting whales’ increased operations.

Meanwhile, a sizable chunk of large transactions of $193.11 million in the week of May 8 were withdrawals.

Therefore, implying the accumulation of whales may not coincide with short-term goals. However, according to Santiment’s data, the realization rate of these transactions had decreased. Therefore, there is no strong reason to panic about the increasing selling pressure.

Altcoin traders accompany with small purchases

For the individual investor, LDO’s metrics did not change significantly. However, on-chain data showed that most holders of 0 to 100 tokens join the whales in the accumulation hunt. However, not every group from the party joined.

For example, the group holding 10 to 100 LDOs was resistant to heavy loading. However, pervasive clustering proved that belief in LDO was high relative to others.

So, are there any new members of the LDO whale family? Not much has happened with this metric, according to Santiment data. The 10 million to 100 million group has flattened since May 10.

This metric meant that the number of whales in the group had remained nearly the same since that date. But for most of the other groups, the number of addresses has witnessed a decline.

As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, the LDO price is currently down by around 2.5%. In an environment where whale sales became widespread, it lost about 10% in value compared to the last month.
