What DeepSea's data shows
DeepSea's 24-hour flow table (built 12:47 a.m. ET) adds up trades by wallets it tags as sharks, large and active traders, on the networks it tracks for this table, such as Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche and Monad.
In bitcoin and ether, sharks were not dumping. On Avalanche, bridged ether (WETH.e) saw $2,714,667 bought and $2,635,032 sold, and bridged bitcoin (BTC.b) $2,147,075 bought and $2,083,483 sold, mostly from two fast-trading wallets. On Monad, sharks bought $1,157,386 of WETH and sold $454,475. On Arbitrum, WBTC was even at about $45,000 each way.
The one-sided moves were elsewhere. ARB: $3,646,224 bought, $771 sold. WLD on Optimism: $3,175,240 bought, $1,431,837 sold. On the sell side, OP: $3,643,011 sold, $2,337,699 bought. XRP and ZEC do not appear in the table.

What it means
Prices here come from CoinGecko and flows from DeepSea. On the chains DeepSea tracks here, big wallets were not running from bitcoin and ether in the last day. Their net buying was small next to the size of the market. Their biggest bets were token specific, led by $3.65 million of ARB bought against $771 sold. The table shows trades on these networks only, not exchanges or other chains, and it does not show who is behind the wallets.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the shark data points to picking spots rather than a rush for the exit: near-even flows in bridged BTC and ETH, with large single bets in ARB and WLD.
- One day of flows on a few networks cannot explain a week-long drop, so this is a snapshot, not a turn.
- The ranking was clean: the larger the coin, the smaller the weekly drop, from bitcoin's 8.5% to zcash's 25.2%.
What's next
- Whether bitcoin holds above $73,000
- Whether shark flows in bridged BTC and ETH turn into clear net selling
- Whether zcash and XRP keep falling faster than bitcoin
