Whales have been accumulating Aave as its price started to rise over the past week, though the token has now entered the overbought zone.
According to data provided by IntoTheBlock, whales holding over 1% of Aave’s circulating supply have accumulated a total of 9.74 million tokens, accounting for over 60% of the AAVE total supply.
AAVE’s large holders’ inflow also increased over the past 24 hours, reaching 291,000 tokens, showing increased interest from whales as the AAVE price recorded a 44% run in the last 30 days.
Data also shows an increased large Aave holders’ outflow, reaching 271,000. However, due to the rising price, the movement cannot be attributed to whales’ selling pressure. Instead, the indicator might show heightened withdrawals from exchanges.
According to Santiment, the number of whale transactions consisting of at least $100,000 worth of AAVE increased by over six times since Aug. 18, reaching 153 unique transactions in the past 24 hours alone.
