Whales, who are Bitcoin investors managing between 1,000 and 10,000 BTCs, altered their approach and are now collecting cryptocurrencies again.

In February, the BTC addresses of whales started to decrease, most likely as a consequence of profits, but when the price of bitcoin rebounded to $30,000, the study states that accumulation re-established in this sector of big holders. Research showed that profits had already ceased in the five groups examined, but since BTC’s price has steadied around the region of $30,000, the picture has altered.

June 23: JPMorgan Becomes First US Bank Giant to Give Access to Crypto Funds
American banking giant JPMorgan Chase & Co’s retail wealth customers now have access to several crypto products, including the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). The decision makes the bank the very first big financial institution in the U.S to offer such a service.
Business Insider said on Thursday, citing people familiar with the subject, that the bank sent a letter to its financial advisers earlier this week giving them the green light to offer all retail customers access to crypto assets. The authorized funds include the Gray Scale Bitcoin Trust, the Gray Scale Bitcoin Cash Trust, the Gray Scale Ethereum Trust, and the Osprey Bitcoin Trust, as reported in the study.
However, only “unsolicited” trades may be executed by bank advisers. This means that advisers from JPMorgan may only purchase or sell orders on customer requests. It is forbidden to suggest to consumers any of the crypto goods.
