Cryptocurrency markets had a relatively quiet summer. While Bitcoin and altcoin investors are bored in the calm market, whales are confusing by making interesting buying and selling moves.
Market tracker Lookonchain found that two different Ethereum whales invested in a different altcoin in exchange for ETH. Whales chose to buy Maker (MKR) while removing BTC’s biggest rival from their hands in the past hours.
