On-chain data shows the largest Toncoin whales have quietly been accumulating the asset while its price has continued to struggle. Top Toncoin Whales Have Seen A Surge In Their Supply In a new post on X, on-chain analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the supply of the top whales on the Toncoin network. “Whales” popularly refer to the big-money investors of the cryptocurrency who tend to carry some degree of influence in the market. Here, the top whales are the 100 largest investors of this kind. Related Reading: Zcash Breaks Out With 34% Surge—Is $440 The Next Target? Below is the chart shared by Santiment that shows how the supply of these humongous entities has changed over the last few months. As is visible in the graph, the Toncoin supply held by the top 100 addresses saw a decline during the last quarter of 2025 as the cryptocurrency sector as a whole saw a bearish shift. An especially sharp decline in the indicator came alongside the recovery surge in early January, suggesting that some big-money hands used the rally to exit the market. Since that price surge, TON has seen continuous struggle, but interestingly, the top whales have changed their tune recently. From the chart, it’s visible that despite the consolidation that the cryptocurrency has been stuck in, the largest addresses have sharply increased their supply over the last couple of weeks. Even before this uptick, the metric was in a gradual uptrend in the preceding couple of months. In total, the 100 largest wallets on the Toncoin network have loaded up on 189,730 tokens (worth about $244,900 right now) over the last three months. This reflects a rise of about 2.5% in their total supply. While the accumulation isn’t terribly large in scale, the fact that the top 100 whales have chosen to accumulate rather than sell during the recent bearish phase may be a sign that large investors still have confidence in the asset. As the analytics firm explains: Even with the #29 ranked coin in crypto losing two thirds of its market cap since its local top in early August, 2025, this heavy accumulation is a promising sign that a relief rally may come quickly once crypto markets finally turn the page from this bear cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Surge To $72,000 Unleashes $470M Squeeze On Crypto Bears Though, while the top whales have been buying recently, things can often swing fast in the digital asset sector. As such, the supply of this cohort could still be to keep an eye on in the near future, especially in the case of a relief rally emerging. TON Price At the time of writing, Toncoin is trading around $1.29, up about 2.8% over the past week. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

Binance is offering temporary relocation to employees based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as the Iran conflict rattles the wider Middle East. Iran Tensions Spill Over To CEXs Bloomberg reported today that the largest crypto centralized exchange (CEX) said many staff members have opted to stay in the UAE, though it did not disclose an exact number. Related Reading: Is XRP Safer Than Bitcoin? This Analyst Explains The Real Quantum Risk For Holders In an e-mail statement sent to Bloomberg this Friday, the CEX explains it gave its UAE employees the relocation option as a precaution measure. Binance assures the company is more than capable to support this type of scenarios without it interfering with the business. Given the recent regional tensions, we offered employees the option to temporarily relocate as a precautionary, employee-first measure to provide flexibility and support during a period of uncertainty. As a remote-first organisation, we are well set up to support this kind of flexibility without disruption to our operations. This measure follows last month’s recommendation from Binance to its UAE staff to limit outdoor activity and prioritize remote work as tensions rose. Binance And The UAE: A Recap On March 2025, Binance reported it had roughly 1,000 employees in the country, accounting for about 20% of its global headcount, Bloomberg claims. At the ending of last year, Binance repositioned itself under Abu Dhabi Global Market oversight and moved its global platform under ADGM supervision, making the UAE its regulatory and operational anchor. The CEX giant is under an ongoing compliance upheaval and Iran‑linked scrutiny since February this year. Binance fired five investigators after an internal probe into roughly $1 billion worth of USDT transactions tied to Iran. According to The New York Times, users in Iran accessed more than 1,500 Binance accounts. In that period, around $1.7 billion moved from two Binance accounts to Iranian entities with alleged ties to terrorist organizations. This potentially breached international sanctions. A Binance contractor opereated one of those accounts. The cuts were focused on investigators and compliance personnel who were reportedly responsible for missing red flags tied to these potential violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran. Such move marked a major internal compliance crackdown and a strong signal of enforcement within the company’s regulatory structure.

Attention has again been drawn to the popular trader James Wynn, who went from a high of almost $100 million in profits to less than $1000 in his Hyperliquid account at the moment. The trader continues to trade Bitcoin and was recently liquidated as the market recovered. Popular Bitcoin Trader Who Went From Almost $100 Million To Below $1,000 HypurrScan data shows that popular Bitcoin trader James Wynn’s account has gone from a peak of $84.21 million in May 2025 to $914.21 at the moment. The trader gained prominence for reaching a $84 million peak in just over two months after he began trading on the decentralized exchange (DEX) Hyperliquid. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Hyperliquid Price Is Exploding Again The trader stacked these profits through high-leveraged bets, including betting on Bitcoin. A major highlight of the trader’s journey was building a $1.25 billion BTC position by going long with 40x leverage on the leading crypto. This was one of the largest Bitcoin positions at the time, which drew more attention to the trader. That position was eventually liquidated, and since then, the Bitcoin trader has lost up to $100 million on his positions. Further data from HypurrScan data show that he currently has a loss of $22 million all-time PnL (Profit and Loss) on Hyperliquid. Wynn was notably a bull as his trading profits on Hyperliquid climbed to a peak of $84 million. However, since the crash in his trading profits, the trader’s sentiment toward Bitcoin has continued to flip. Towards the end of last year, he became largely bearish on BTC, rightly predicting that the leading crypto would suffer a long-term downtrend. Bitcoin has been in a downtrend since reaching an all-time high (ATH) of $126,000. Earlier this year, in February, Wynn predicted that BTC would still drop to as low as $48,000 in this bear market. More Liquidations Amid Bearish Sentiment On-chain analytics platform Lookonchain revealed that James Wynn was recently liquidated on his Bitcoin position as the crypto market recovered amid the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. The trader had shorted Bitcoin just below $67,000 and got liquidated as the price hit $67,900. Lookonchain noted that the trader has been liquidated six times in just the past two weeks. Related Reading: Crypto Trader Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Hit $100,000 Again When This Happens Wynn had mainly been shorting Bitcoin while the leading crypto traded in the $67,000 range. However, the leading crypto has yet to make a new low, holding the $66,000 support, and has instead rebounded above the psychological $70,000 level since the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. HypurrScan data show that the trader has not opened a new position since the ceasefire agreement. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $72,000, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
