📈 Cardano is decoupled from the altcoin pack, nearly matching its 8-month high. Its price ratio against Bitcoin is also nearing an 8-month high. The last time we saw this level of ADA transaction and whale volume was in June, just prior to a +26% burst in the ADA/BTC pairing.

📺 Another milestone day for crypto, and traders aren't sure what to make of Bitcoin's slow climb to a new $94K all-time high. Our video looks at where Santiment data points to markets going next. Follow us on YouTube for plenty more!

📊 Bitcoin's new all-time high now sits at $94,002, and the commentary across social media could be described as luke-warm at best. The lack of euphoria is an encouraging sign, as FOMO typically leads to corrections. As long as there is retail trader disbelief, whales can continue pumping cryptocurrencies with little resistance.

🗣️ Today's top trending topics across social media are showing the majority of interest going toward Solana's impressive price run, and Microstrategy's continued massive Bitcoin purchases. Here are the breakdowns:

📈 The #4 market cap asset in crypto continues to rise against its peers, recently reaching an all-time high $0.0709 price ratio against Ethereum. Many traders are anticipating a potential breach of SOL's November, 2021 ATH of $257 before the end of the year.

💸 Michael Saylor and Microstrategy recently purchased approximately 51,780 more BTC for around $4.6 billion. This has generated considerable attention, highlighting Saylor's bullish stance on Bitcoin and influencing market discussions about large entities accumulating Bitcoin.

🐟 When a network's overall amount of wallets declines, it is a sign of FUD & capitulation from novice traders that is often a bullish indicator for the coin's price (since those liquidated coins are likely being bought by larger whales & sharks who are hodling for the long-term.

Retail traders largely control the amount of non-empty wallets on a network, considering there are an enormous amount of small wallets compared to whale wallets. With this said, here are the changes in non-empty wallets over the past month for notable top cap assets:

🪙 Bitcoin (BTC): +11,263 (+0.02%)
🪙 Ethereum (ETH): +1,950,000 (+1.50%)
🪙 XRP Ledger (XRP): +88,261 (+1.61%)
🪙 Cardano (ADA): -34,931 (-0.78%)
🪙 Dogecoin (DOGE): +109,410 (+1.65%)
🪙 Chainlink (LINK): +991 (+0.14%)

🥳📈 XRP has now broken a 3-year high, reaching $1.2679 on Binance for the first time since November 11, 2021. This rally has come on the backs of key whale & shark wallets that hold between 1M-100M tokens. This group has collectively accumulated 453.3M more tokens (worth $526.3M) in the past week alone.

Meanwhile, the coins that they are accumulating are mainly coming from retail traders attempting to dump their coins on any small XRP rally. Wallets with under 1M XRP have collectively dumped 75.7M tokens (worth $87.9M) this past week.

Historically, any cryptocurrency tends to see positive market cap growth when its key stakeholders are increasing their holdings and confidence, while simultaneous retail FUD fuels this growth more. This has been the exact scenario unfolding for crypto's now #6 market cap asset. 👍
