FLOKI holders are selling their tokens!
Floki Inu (FLOKI) recently experienced a significant price increase. This caused a flurry of trading activities. According to IntoTheBlock, the analysis revealed that active addresses have risen with more than 40% increase in token price. This development is likely to signal a shift in the behavior of FLOKI traders. Because some see the price increase as an opportunity to empty their holdings.
Interestingly, the data also shows a small increase in zero-balance addresses. This shows that some FLOKI holders are selling at the price action. However, the increase in new addresses indicates that the token continues to attract new investors. It’s also a sign that it’s potentially offsetting the selling pressure from current owners.
Source: TradingViewFloki Inu emerged amid the rise in popularity of meme entities like Shiba Inu. These closely follow the Dogecoin pattern. The token posted a 520% rise in January. However, it later experienced a rapid return of over 40%. This price action highlights the volatile nature of FLOKI and the potential risks associated with trading them.
It is possible to attribute the recent price increase to market sentiment or social media excitement alone. That said, it’s important to keep in mind that meme tokens like Floki Inu often lack the core value or utility that more established cryptocurrencies offer. Therefore, their prices can be extremely unpredictable. This makes them prone to sharp fluctuations. Despite this natural volatility, the increasing number of new addresses shows that it continues to attract investors.
Whale activity at MATIC

One of the largest Polygon addresses transferred 60 million MATIC to an exchange. This caused the network’s stock market supply to rise to 7.92%, a five-week high. This event demonstrates the potential impact of large token transfers by whales on the overall health of the network.
Such transfers can be an indicator of market activity and liquidity. In addition, it is possible to cause volatility and price fluctuations in the market. Therefore, it is important for investors to exercise caution during such events. Whales or large holders often move their tokens to exchanges when they want to sell them. It is worth noting that this particular whale is self-contained. Therefore, this could be a potential reason for a massive token move. However, the whale still has a substantial amount of MATIC with 3.78 billion tokens in hand.
