On-chain data shows large holders sold more than 8 million tokens in a single day. Active addresses on the network decreased during the price drop. Network participation remained flat as selling pressure increased.

Whale Activity Shows Mixed Signals

One whale wallet accumulated 70.64 million MON tokens since launch. The buyer spent $2.13 million USDC at an average price of $0.03267 per token. The wallet currently holds unrealized losses of $250,000.

Other wallets holding over one million dollars worth of MON accelerated their selling. The selling from large holders happened while other whales continued buying the dip.

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes bought MON on November 27. He sold all his holdings two days later on November 29. Hayes criticized the token structure as high FDV with low circulation. This means the project has a large fully diluted value but only a small percentage of total supply trades publicly.

Monad CEO Keone Hon responded to Hayes’ comments about the risks associated with MON. Hayes’ public criticism and sell-off added pressure to the token price.

Network Metrics Paint Different Picture

Monad’s stablecoin supply continues climbing and reached $451 million. This represents one of the few positive indicators for the network.

Data from cookie.fun shows overall sentiment around Monad leans bullish. The project maintains one of the highest mindshare levels compared to other new projects.

The price chart shows reaction at a demand zone between $0.0282 and $0.0288. Multiple rounded lows in this area indicate buyers absorbed selling pressure. The token moved up to $0.0302 after finding support.

The RSI indicator sits in the low 60s, showing improving momentum without overheating. If the price holds above $0.0294, the technical structure favors a move toward $0.0313 and potentially $0.0332.

Market analysts note whale accumulation during price dips historically precedes market bottoms. The selling pressure creates liquidity that can attract new buyers and push prices higher.

Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge

The post Vanguard Reverses Crypto ETF Ban, Triggers $200 Billion Market Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. // News Reading time: 2 min Published: Dec 05, 2025 at 15:43 The dramatic surge was attributed to the world’s second-largest asset manager, Vanguard Group, reversing its long-standing ban on trading crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The cryptocurrency market experienced a massive, unanticipated rally on December 3rd, with Bitcoin (BTC) smashing through the $93,000 level and the total crypto market capitalization adding over $200 billion in value within 36 hours. The “Vanguard Effect” and institutional green light Vanguard, which had previously held a staunch anti-crypto stance, citing it as “speculative” and unfit for long-term portfolios, announced it would now allow its clients to trade various Spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs on its platform. This reversal effectively opened the gates for millions of conservative retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to digital assets through one of the most trusted names in passive investing. The “Vanguard Effect” was immediately amplified by other major financial institutions: Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch followed suit by allowing over 15,000 of its financial advisors to recommend a small (1% to 4%) allocation to crypto ETFs for suitable wealth management clients. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recorded one of its highest trading volumes to date, crossing the $1 billion mark in a single day. Market mechanics The sudden, unexpected institutional buying pressure, combined with forced buying from short-sellers, triggered the liquidation of over $360 million in leveraged short positions. This short squeeze further accelerated BTC’s price past key resistance levels, driving Ethereum (ETH) above $3,000 and boosting other major altcoins. The news signifies the final collapse of the traditional finance industry’s resistance to crypto, confirming that the asset class is now firmly entrenched in the mainstream investment ecosystem.
