Prices
CoinGecko showed WLD at $0.3116 at 12:40 a.m. ET, down 2.7% in 24 hours. OP was at $0.0995, down 1.4%. Bitcoin was down about 1.2% and ether 2.5% over the same day.
What the numbers mean
Realized profit and loss counts only closed trades. A wallet can also hold coins that have gained or lost value since it bought them, and those paper results are not in the table.
Net buying is purchases minus sales. For WLD, sharks bought $497,441 more than they sold in the day, even as the price fell 2.7%. For OP the flow ran the other way, with $212,250 more sold than bought. One token drew money in and the other pushed it out, from the same small group of wallets.
Why it matters
Sharks are large, active wallets, but the table shows size is no guarantee of results. Most of these wallets lost money in a falling market and kept trading anyway. Over 30 days only 8 of 32 were in profit, and the group was down $2.51 million. The data shows trades, not reasons.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the WLD buying is the signal worth tracking: net buying of about $497,000 while the price slipped, from a group that mostly lost money this week.
- OP selling echoes November 4, when sharks on Optimism sold $3.55 million of it in a day. With OP now under 10 cents, these wallets are still trimming.
- A 31% win rate across 915 trades is low. One wallet's $1.69 million monthly loss shows how uneven the results are.
What's next
- Whether net WLD buying by Optimism sharks continues
- Whether OP gets back above $0.10
- The 9675 wallet's 2.10 million WLD balance
