The New Development Has Buoyed Crypto Whales’ Confidence in MATIC
MATIC whale investors have increased their trading activity since Google Cloud was announced as an official node validator. On-chain data shows that the Polygon network recorded 68 Large Transactions on October 1, 2023.
Notably, this was the highest level of whale trading activity registered since September 7.
The Large Transactions metric aggregates the total number of confirmed trades that exceed $100,000 on a given day. Strategic investors often interpret an increase in Large transactions as a bullish signal.
Firstly, this is because large transactions boost market liquidity, which then allows traders to execute orders at favorable prices.
More importantly, the increased demand from the whales often leads to a price spike when market supply does not match up to it.
